Question: Curing cat-human worm infestation
Hello,
I have been feeding & petting this feral cat. It has these little (less than an inch long) white, thin worm-looking things in its anus. I kind of guessed they could be worms, but since I did not see any movement, I lost that rain of thought. Recently, when I sit on the couch, the cat has been getting on to my lap & grooming & sleeping. Yesterday, I noticed a large sore on my lower thigh. Today, one of these things dropped on to my sofa and started crawling on it with this expansion-contraction motion, so I'm pretty sure it's a worm or a maggot. I suspect one of these things has got into me using the skin-penetration route. What can I get off the shelf (I've got a 2-office visit limitation on my health plan, so I'd rather avoid using the second so early in the year) to kill this worm off before it does any critical organ damage? Thanks, Gerard |
