Here in Austin, we, and our pets, are lucky enough to be able to play in our yards and enjoy the Texas sunshine almost year round. There’s only one thing that can put a damper on kids playing in the backyard with the family dog, and that is dog waste.
Every pet owner in Austin is familiar with this not-so-often-talked-about problem. Dog doo doo is not a pleasant topic, but neither is smelly shoes and clothes.
Did you know? It is not only that dog waste in your yard is a nuisance, it poses significant health concerns.
Dog feces in your yard in Austin can transmit many parasites, such as round worm, and therefore when a dog leaves infected waste in the yard, parasites are born, and typically stay in that area of your lawn for years to come. As a result, anyone or anything that comes into contact with that area of your yard is at risk for being subject to the infected eggs or born parasites.
Below are some of the most common diseases that are caused by the spread of pet waste in Austin:
Campylobacteriosis: This is a bacterial infection that causes diarrhea in humans.
Salmonellosis: This is the most common bacterial infection transmitted to humans from animals. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Toxocarisis: This bacterial infection is caused by roundworms transmitted from animals to humans. Symptoms include vision loss, rash, fever, or cough.
Parasites and other bacteria affect humans as well as animals, and can cause serious illness. Viruses spread from dog waste in Austin to children most often, due to the fact that children spend most time in the backyard, however pregnant women should also be concerned with contracting these infections, as they can affect the unborn child.
Be Prepared! In addition to the disease causing parasites within the feces, further dangers occur because of the waste itself attracting other small animals, pests, rodents, insects and flies. All of these can also carry their own bacteria and disease.
From a broader perspective, there has been evidence that dog waste has affected water quality in nearby streams, rivers, and lakes, some of which provide the very water we drink from!
