Fox Tapeworm Spreads to West Coast
Published 3 days, 10 hours ago
Description
A dangerous new parasite, the fox tapeworm, has been found in 37% of coyotes in Puget Sound — the first time this European strain has appeared on the West Coast. While rare, it can cause life-threatening cysts in humans if eggs are ingested through contaminated soil, pets, or food. Though public risk remains low, experts urge basic hygiene and caution with pets to prevent infection.
