Human and dog mouths have "a large number and a wide variety of bacteria," Fobian says.

Fortunately, most of it doesn't make us sick, but some can.

Parasites like hookworm, roundworm, and giardia can be passed from dog to human through licking.

Salmonella, too, can be passed from your dog to you, or vice versa.
