More On The Dog Doo

[tangobob]

I just watched a lady dragging her little dog along the pavement (sidewalk) It dragged its arse along a full block. Do locals not realise that this is a sign of worms?
At the corner she stopped and her dog socialised with another dog, that will now probably also have worms. She carried no poop bags with her, so the cycle goes on.
I wonder how many of the blind and disabled of Buenos Aires are that way as a direct result of contact with worm infested dog doo?

I always carry a couple plastic bags with me and, if I see someone's dog dumping, I hand him (or her) one with the comment that "Se te cayó algo."

That is a great idea although I prefer GS's solution

When a dog is dragging its butt it could be worms, but also likely its anal glands are full and need to be emptied. Most owners don't know about it and sometimes they rupture and the dog gets very sick and can die.

Ah but it doesn't end there. People, of course, walk down those same sidewalks, wait for a colectivo, then put their dirty shoes on the handle bars and partitions in the bus, where still others hold on for dear life as the colectivero drives like a madman.
Without washing their hands, rub their faces and do the transitional kiss on the cheek and share a maté with someone else.

There is constant conjunctivitis in this city among other fecal-borne illness.
