I have never heard or read anything about lungworm before but it makes me glad that Tatum doesn't typically eat things outside. Now the other big dogs might eat junebugs and stuff but I've never seen a slug around here. At least not in a very long time that I can recall.
I think its just slugs and snails who carry the lung worm parasite, I have never heard of earth worms carrying it.
But no lung worm dosnt infect humans.
