| Question: Can I get a disease from my pet? |
| Answer: Yes, you can get parasites, intestinal diseases, eye infections, and rabies from domestic animals, along with lots of other diseases. Dogs can carry the resistant staph organism - MERSA - on their fur/skin. Always consult with your doctor and pediatrician when either one or both of you are sick. Use good hygiene when cleaning up any animal mess.
