Could my boyfriend have tape worm?My cat was recently diagnosed with tape worm. We are treating him.for it, but my boyfriend has been displaying signs. We trained our cat to.give kisses just like a dog and wonderes if one or both of us could have picked it up. Since im pregnant and my boyfriend cleans the litter box now, he usually doesnt wash his hands. We dont really have a lot of money so we dont wanna go get us checked unless there.is.a legit reason to. Would you reccomend we do?
Hi, Tap worm infestation spread through dust, carrying and handling pet cat. So there are chance of having ova, cyst trapped in nails and by ingestion it produces this infestation. So having this infection to you and your boyfriend is very likely. Go for anti-worm medicine like Albendazole both partners. Before taking this medicine, consult your Oust. And then take if he advises. Keep nails well cut and clean. Ok and take care.
