Public health: Watch out for dog worms on the beaches!

4

According to the law in force, access to dogs on almost all of the beaches of Saint-Martin is prohibited. This is to ensure the sanitation of the premises and the quality of the bathing water. But in the end, it is nothing! Many stray dogs are still part of the local landscape, in town as at the beach!

However, some beaches on the French side are contaminated with dog worms. This parasite, contained in dog feces, ends up seeping under the skin and causing itching.

Several cases in children have been reported in recent days in the French part.

It is therefore recommended not to lie on the sand.

Now let's hope that the Collectivity will be keen to take the necessary measures… _AF

    The problem is not really the dogs but rather the owners who do not collect the droppings of their 4-legged companions! I love St Martin for its freedom, its beaches and because I have an incredible meeting with this bitch who adopted us almost 2 years ago !! Teach good citizenship and stop banning !!! This is how to live it together !!

    Curious focus on dog droppings on an island where the sewers overflow with the first rains and where the inhabitants bathe in a juice of human excrement due to the lack of insufficient treatment plants.
