Guest guest Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 You mean to say you don't - yuk!!! When monkeys eat their fruit and veg from the wild they also eat plants that get rid of the parasitic worms that they pick up - it is unlikely that we would. You have your dogs wormed because they pick up parasitic worms through eating unwashed stuff that they find.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I certainly hope so. When you think of birds flying over and pooping, and planes dumping their fuel and insects crawling over the dog poo and then onto the fruit and veg - may I just repeat 'yuk'.
