Is it true that worms come out of the sheep's wool when it's soaked in the rain?

I think if the sheep are not cleaned regularly this may happen. But I don't really know. I know that worms in the gut are fairly common if sheep are not regularly treated.

oh my goodness, that is a bit yucky when i think of it.. haha,, I am not sure as well, i think, it could be true if the sheeps are not hygienic? maybe they are some ticks and lice but i am not sure if worms survive in sheeps wool? worms? suppose to survive in the soil or water isn't? hehe interesting! I don't find worms on my head so far... lucky i ain't sheep.

i think that this is true. worms do come out of the sheep's wool when it is not cleaned from time to time. i have learned about this from my son who has his first two years in college in agri business. when i told him that i am considering raising some sheep too, at the farm, he gave me this information. the houseflies (i don't know if other insects also do this) lay their eggs on the sheep's wool because its condition is very favorable for the purpose. we know how thick their wool is and it is kept warm by the sheep itself being a warm blooded animal.

WEll, I have never seen it so I really can't tell you. But I think not. You have a good day your friend onlydia

No not at all lol I cant believe you have never seen a sheep? How is that possible? but as I grew up on a farm and lived with sheep for many years I can guarantee you nothing comes out of their wool!

yes friend its true that the worms come out of the sheep's but I don't know when I am hearing it from you , I have seen sheeps and also know that the sheeps are the way to getting wool but don't know that it's soaked in the rain lol thanks for sharing

I've never seen it happen and I've been around sheep often.

Wow!~ Never heard of before. But after reading the 1st response - that's valuable info.

Hello modstar! Honestly, like you, I really have no idea about it. How did you come up with this question?
