De-worming animals is probably still for the best. Even hookworms can be fatal to dogs, for example. And there are other worm parasites way worse than hookworms, like roundworms that can burrow through the intestines and up into the host’s heart and brain. I wouldn’t take the risk.

yeah I was just musing and reading the whole paper the participants had some initial gastro intestinal issues for a day or so from getting the worms. seems its basically a very small dose of them can be beneficial so you totally don’t want to get them naturally.
