Unshod. Parasites?

I’ve heard you can get certain parasitic worms through going barefoot. I was always cautioned as a kid not to walk barefoot near the horses. Any real concern about this with running trails etc?

Comments

Depends on where you live and conditions of sanitation.

For me, it's too cold and arid for hookworms to survive, so I walk around without worries.

A bigger concern for me is herbicide/pesticides, particularly why I don't go to golf courses. Read a few scattered stories of people getting sudden downturns in their health after a leisurely barefoot stroll through a golf course after a fresh application of hazardous chemicals.
