Request against dog fouling on residential street, as steps are made to test dog feces DNA to trace the owner, Margate, Kent, UK Dogs are man's best friend but for some the downside of dogs in residential areas is a serious concern. Dog droppings are not only unpleasant, by smelling bad and fouling shoes and even clothes but they can also be a serious health hazard. The most serious health risk from dog messes is a parasitic worm infection known as toxiocariasis which, in extreme cases, can cause blindness. This is mainly a threat to children, between the ages of eighteen months and five years, who may play where the dog fouling is left on the ground. The eggs of the worm can live in the faeces and soil for a long time and infect someone if swallowed. The United Kingdom has over seven million dogs which produce around one thousand tons of poop per day, much of this in and around the places people live.
