Things Spreading Through Mating question

[KOTurkeyRanch]

If a gobbler had worms could they spread through mating?<----Ive heard this to be true.

If a gobbler has lice could they spread through mating?<---Never heard of this but i'd imagine its true.

Yep, external parasite can easily be spread that way, especially seeing how long a tom takes to do his thing.
Internal are mainly spread threw egg in the poo getting eaten threw the day while pecking around on the ground, not threw sperm.
A good dose of ivermectin will cure them all though for both
