Hey freelastchance, how are you doing?
If your dog or cat (or other pet) passes anything unusual in its feces, SAVE IT! The best way to save such specimens is to pick them out of your pet's feces and put them into a container containing some alcohol (rubbing alcohol works fine) and will kill and preserve the specimen for your veterinarian to "see" what was in your pet's feces than to listen to your description of it. (Ohio State University Parasites and your pet)
Humans are infected by parasites, by ingesting fleas that are infected with the larval tapeworm. Althourg it is virtually impossible to eliminate completely the risk of getting a parasite from a pet (or other animal), even if you do not own a pet, compared to your chances of getting other diseases (or infections), the chances that you will get a parasite from your pet are very low, but there are several steps that you can take to decrease this risk (see parasites and your pets).

Voltage, of any duration, and frequency is not a recommended treatment for parasistic infections nor use on the skin or other organs - you will keep getting the virus back promptly - furthermore, parasistic infections usually have more severe consequenses when contracted by humans, not acne, for example, Ascris spp. which penitrate the tissues of the intestine and enter the bloodstream and then, into the lungs and molt into third stage juvenile.

Prisoner: Look here, doctor! You've already removed my spleen, tonsils, adenoids, and one of my kidneys. I only came to see if you could get me out of this place!
Doctor: I am, bit by bit.
