      It’s not an illness. In most cases they are completely harmless and unavoidable, you get them from your mom as a baby and carry them your whole life. Most people have them. A minority of people can have some skin condition due to them, but it’s quite rare. And yes dogs carry them too, but not an issue for them either.
