To answer your question - yes - including dog heartworm! Different parasites like certain organs. I highly recommend that you research this for yourself to get a better understanding. Perhaps you can post your findings so that everyone can learn. :)

Yes, Dog Heartworms as well as nasty critters like A.Vasorum...

dark circles under your eyes? think heart worm(s).

I don't know if various parasites 'do' anything in the heart area, but in my reading many different kinds seem to pass through the heart or nearby, at some stage.

Blood, of course, goes through the heart, and I think I remember reading that lymph empties somewhere in the vicinity.

Probably it is very lucky that our livers, and other organs, are on duty.

I took a couple of herb courses from Hanna Kroeger (Kroeger Herb products) in the mid-1990s. According to her, yes people can get dog heartworms.
