Fecal Sample
There are as many as 4%–20% of children in the U.S. contract roundworms from their pets each year. Children are one of the groups that are most susceptible to infection because they are always grabbing, touching and sticking their hands in their mouths without regard to whether they are clean.** The good news is that these parasites are preventable. Please collect the sample in a zip lock plastic bag and bring it into the hospital with in 24 hours. The test usually cost around $15.00 and only takes about 10 minutes. If an animal test positive we can send you home with the appropriate medications and informational handouts.
