I know very well that all we like our pet much, Infact I also…
But you may increase the chances of contracting everything from worms to the bubonic plague.
Here want to share with you, which I read recently before few hours ago,
Of the 250 known diseases transmitted from animals to humans, more than 100 of them come from domestic animals. There are private places in the household, and pets should not go beyond next to the bed.
Among the more serious medical problems animal lovers risk by snuggling up to their pets are chagas disease, which can cause life- threatening heart and digestive system disorders.
Cat-scratch disease is another problem. It can come from being licked by infected felines, and can cause lethal damage to the liver, kidney or spleen.
There are also found several cases of infections transmitted through planting a kiss on a pet.
53 per cent considered their pet to be a member of the family, while 56 per cent of them admitted they sleep with their dog next to them.
Up to 62 per cent of cat owners said their pets sleep either on or in their beds. Some 25 per cent of women admit to sleeping regularly with a pet, while just 16 per cent of men say they do.
Washing hands after playing with pets and keeping regular vet visits will help.
Dogs and cats may lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels and even decrease feelings of loneliness for their owners, for instance.
They can also increase opportunities for exercise and socializing.
