Fox disease develops in Nord-Pas-de-Calais



[ad_1]

Be careful.

The health authorities call for vigilance because the fox disease now affects the North and the Pas-de-Calais. 5 cases of foxes positive for echinococcosis were recorded in the Pas-de-Calais when the disease was already recently in the neighboring department. The fox carries the tapeworm, a worm that colonizes the intestines. Men are infected with tapeworm eggs. They are present in the faeces of the fox, on his coat.

The authorities call for vigilance because the parasitic disease, untreated, is fatal for humans. They invite walkers and hunters to prevention. In particular to wash well all the vegetables if you maintain a kitchen garden, or to not eat the fruits which, in the nature, are at less than a meter of height.
