Obviously, our sources are very different.
Your information was something I had not heard before and I find it interesting.
This is not about my trying to prove you wrong. This is about my insatiable curiosity and if you have facts that differ from mine and prove mine wrong I would like to know. I don't like passing out bad information based on wrong facts and shoddy research.

What follows is a part of the information I looked up this morning.

re Roundworms:
"Humans become infected with roundworms when they ingest infective eggs from the soil or from their hands or another object. Large numbers of the eggs can accumulate in the soil where dogs and cats are allowed to defecate. The eggs are sticky, and can collect on the hands and under the fingernails of people. Children, and others who may not have good hygiene, are most prone to becoming infected."

re Hookworms
"People become infected with hookworms when the hookworm larvae in the ground penetrate through the skin. Persons who have contact with the ground, especially for long periods of time, such as plumbers or electricians, and sunbathers, especially those lying on wet sand or ground, are at increased risk."

Just a couple well known org's and their statements on cat parasites.  Hope this helps with your questions :)   I'm a dog person myself, but have had cats in my past, keeping things spotlessly clean seems to be the common agreement in avoiding problems.

I wonder how long before they take effect.

I do think they are doing something.   BTW- she HAS worms.  This is not me- being hypochrondriac.

Can be messy but very effective and you don't get scratched up.

And yes you CAN get parasites from your pets. My daughter got worms from a stray cat, about 15 years ago. The doctor gave us all a worm med, just to be safe.

Does not matter. Your clothing is very little protection against a very small, crawling parasite.

But you realllly need a good basic cat book. Try Think like a cat: http://www.amazon.com/Think-Like-Cat-Well-Adjusted-Cat-Not/dp/0140288546/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278335988&sr=8-1

You, sir (and trust me I use that term with a liberal does of sarcasm and a sneer) are an arse.

I will not take a pet to the vets if I can at all help it, as animals can smell fear, and vets to animals are full of fear, a fear of unfamiliar places and humans they don't know doing things to them.
