Hookworms can also invade the human skin. Individuals who live in the southeastern part of the US are more at risk due to the warm sandy soil. People (including children) should always wear shoes in areas where dogs are known to roam especially in tropical climates. This includes on beaches where dogs are allowed. Dog owners should provide preventative treatment to pets living in tropical climates and all dogs should be tested regularly for hookworms.
