| About risk factors: Risk factors for Toxocariasis are factors that do not seem to be a direct cause of the disease, but seem to be associated in some way.

Also, the absence of any risk factors or having a protective factor does not necessarily guard you against getting Toxocariasis. For general information and a list of risk factors, see the risk center. |
