[|Human|] I am taking four meds. for a positive blood test for H . pylori can i give to dogs or cats or my bird? how can i protect my husband and grand kids from me giving it to them? How do you spread it to other? Any good web sites I can help myself with? Thank you, R
[|AI|]  Hello and thank you for your question. We do not really understand why some people get this infection and others do not. It is transmittable through saliva. I do not think your animals can get it, but you can protect your family by good handwashing, dish washing and not exposing them to saliva or other body fluids until you are treated. The Mayo Clinic has very good information about this infection. Here is a link:http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/h-pylori/basics/definition/con-20030903Good health to you.
