Beyond social responsibility, respect for others, education and culture, leaving our dog's feces in the park, the street, the forest or the beach can be very harmful to the health of all of us who share the planet.

The main consequence are the "ZOONOSIS". But what is that? Zoonoses is the term that refers to the diseases that humans can acquire through other species; For example: through the feces of our dogs we can acquire parasitic zoonoses produced by cysts, eggs, larvae and worms. Some of the diseases that are transmitted through feces are typhoid, salmonellosis, hepatitis A, leptospirosis, among many others. These parasites can enter our body by ingestion ...
By ingestion? ... But how could you eat a dog's feces? In fact it is very likely that you have done it, without realizing it. If any particle of poop was in your shoes, on the legs of your dog or your toys, in the hands and / or shoes of children, any object that has been in contact with the remains of feces that we left in the park will be a carrier from the same. The stool particles will reach your home and from your house to your mouth there will be a single step.
In addition, when the faeces that do not get up dry, the particles that contaminate and contain parasites fly until they reach the food that we buy in street stalls or even in restaurants with outdoor terraces. The dried stool particles also fly and remain suspended in the air we breathe.
The list of zoonoses is very broad and the consequences very serious. Parasites can make us very sick and cause damage to most of our organs.
If we all ALWAYS collect the feces of our dogs the chances of ingesting them will be greatly reduced.
