Might not have known what it was, didn't wash their hands, rubbed their eyes (do you know how many ppl rub their eyes and their hands are filthy dirty??????) and spread the nasty rare worms.....

round worms in dogs can do some pretty ugly damage to a human too. People need to be more careful for sure!
