Fleas, ticks and worms: your enemies n ° 1
Did you know ? The fleas are rampant throughout the year. Nestled in the coat of your cat or dog, they feed on its blood. Particularly agile, they jump from animal to human in no time if they are present in large quantities. Their bites cause allergic reactions on your child’s skin. They are also the cause of diseases such as spotted flea fever or cat scratch disease. Very common in tall grasses (from spring to autumn), ticks bind to the skin and can transmit Lyme disease to humans or animals. In addition, every year, many dogs succumb to piroplasmosis, which is also caused by these parasites. What about roundworms? Very common, they are transmitted by the droppings of animals. Attention, the risks of contamination are high for your child if he does not wash his hands which can be soiled by the eggs of roundworms… Digestive pain or more serious disorders, such as loss of sight, threaten his health. This is why it is important to remain very vigilant about the appearance of these parasites and to be well informed via educational videos.
