What is in Dog Waste?
Some Common Diseases:
Roundworm
Giardia
Campylobacter
Leptospira
Tapeworm
Cryptosporidium
E. Coli
Fecal Coliforms
Dog Waste is a Public Health Issue.
Each of those listed above is a disease that humans CAN get!
Us adults may not roll in the fields, roll on the grass with our dogs, or touch the dog’s toys and then our mouths because we understand how diseases are spread.
Young children are not so careful.
If a child touches an object that has been in contact with dog feces and then touches their hand to their mouth, they could become infected with a disease.
Roundworm larva, if ingested by a human, can migrate throughout the body to organs such as the brain, lungs, kidneys, liver, heart, or eyes. Roundworm larva can cause blindness.
Reasons to Scoop the Poop:
1. To Protect our CHILDREN from DISEASE.
2. To Monitor your DOG'S HEALTH.
3. To Protect local water quality.
4. To Respect our community and the visitor experience.
5. It’s the law to pick up pet waste deposited in a public place.
