      This will depend on where you live and what animals you come into contact with. For example in India there are lots of stray dogs which carry rabies, tapeworms and other bugs. In the UK we have lots of pigeons, their poo can become home to a nasty fungus which causes respiratory (breathing) issues for people so we need to be careful.

      Overall I think the most common animal to get ill from is other humans becasue we spend a lot of time with other people so risk catching colds and other bugs from them.
