Can kissing your dog make you sick? As many as 60% of Americans have pets and they have been shown to provide good health, exercise and emotional care to their owners. But there are many bacteria that dogs carry that can cause us illness.
Dog bacteria can cause problems in human gastrointestinal system, wounds and the bloodstream. The very young and old are more susceptible as are those already ill especially with diabetes or cancer.
(Did You Know? Zoonoses are diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans. )
Contact doesn’t just have to be being licked in the face to acquire the bacteria. Throwing a ball and sleeping with a dog can spread germs. The best way to avoid getting sick from your dog is to make sure it regularly is seen by a vet and receives its vaccinations. And, of course, WASH YOUR HANDS AND FACE!
