Parasite Cleanse FAQ:
i work as a vet tech and take care of about 50 dogs a day. i have had mucus in stool (no fever) and i am wondering if i got something from one of the dogs i work with? i am always very careful and always wear gloves but you never know because youre so busy working and cleaning up after them. if this is a parasite infection, how do i treat it? i dont have insurance right now. thank you!

Dog ***** can cause a number of human diseases, including toxocariasis, which can cause blindness, and can also cause human hookworm. Almost 14% of the US population is infected with Toxocara, a parasite of dogs and cats that can be passed from animals to humans.
Eh…everyone needs insurance right now. Especially in these times.
mucous in the stool alone does not mean that you have a parasite.
excessive mucus means your colon is irritated(something you ate?constipation?)
you could always do a fecal floatation test on your own stool!
if you see blood+mucus=test for Giardia Lamblia
my suggesting would be getting as much information as you can before taking any action,here
is a good place for that purpose.
