Pets often comfort and companionship, and we can’t help but love them. In fact when it comes to dogs. While pets can benefit our health in a number of ways, they also have the potential to spread infection and cause human illness.

Ring worm :- Is actually not a worm but a fungus.

Dogs and cats are among the animals most often affected. The fungus may cause small areas of hair loss in your pet. But it can cause red,itchy spots with a scaly ring around them on your scalp,feet, groin and other parts of your body.

Ringworm is literally in a hair shaft so if the animal run against your skin you can get little bumps or rings. This can be treated with common anti-fungal medicine.

Worms :-The main types of worms that people worry about are round worms and hook worms. They can be transmitted when you come in contact with pet feces and touch your eyes or mouth, or when you walk barefoot on soil that’s been contaminated by your pets poop. In humans round worms and hook worms can cause symptoms like coughing, abdominal pain, or an itchy rash.

Humans can contract the disease by inhaling spores from the dander of an infected bird or from bind droppings. Symptoms are really bad pneumonia. Birds may have symptoms like diarrhoea or poor appetite.
