Tape worms

[Kutz]

Hi all! Our chicken is a home pet.
She got tape worms from eating a bug..
Took het to the vet and started a treatment.now she poops whole tape worms...and sagments.
One vet said this is not contagious to us.
The other one said to be careful and wash handsc ect.
I rad here too that its not and that it is possible to get this worms on us.
Confused because she live insude the house like our dog.
Anyone have advice?

I'd imagine that once out of a hosts' body for a while they will be dead. I reckon the second vet was just exercising caution for you safety.
