Use Caution With Pets

[DUSTY]

ACCORDING TO THE FRENCH DAILY LE MONDE, 52 PERCENT OF HOUSEHOLDS IN FRANCE HAVE PETS. HOWEVER, A RECENT STUDY BY A GROUP OF VETERINARIANS AT THE INSTITUTE OF COMPARATIVE ANIMAL IMMUNOLOGY, IN MAISONS-ALFORT, FRANCE, SHOWS THAT FUNGI AND PARASITES CARRIED BY FRANCE'S 8.4 MILLION CATS AND 7.9 MILLION DOGS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VARIOUS DISEASES IN PET OWNERS. THESE INCLUDE RINGWORM, ROUNDWORM, SCABIES, LEISHMANIASIS, AND TOXOPLASMOSIS. THE LATTER CAN CAUSE MISCARRIAGES OR FETAL MALFORMATIONS IN PREGNANT WOMEN. THE REPORT ALSO MENTIONS THE MANY ALLERGIC REACTIONS CAUSED BY HOUSEHOLD PETS AND THE INFECTIONS THAT RESULT FROM DOG BITES-ABOUT 100,000 A YEAR IN FRANCE.
