Echinococcosis
Hi, I am having concerns on getting parasites after my travel to Hokkaido, Japan. During my road trip, I fell down by on wet ground by the lake (Ezo red foxes were known to actively roam the area). This was 3 weeks ago. My clothes were soiled badly and I was worried I might accidentally contracted parasites.
How do I prevent myself from getting Echinococcosis, if it's not too late?
Thank you!
