I took this photo in Blatten, Valais



There's a German information sheet about the fox tapeworm here. It's in theory possible to get it from unwashed and uncooked wild berries that was in touch with fox or dog excrement. However human infections are rare in Switzerland, only 10-20 a year. The risk of infection is much higher for dog owners than for berry collectors. Still it's an illness to be taken seriously and it isn't easily diagnosed.

In the Alps up to ten percent of the foxes are infected, but in the rest of the country it's 30-60% and more. Keep your dog away from fox excrements.


Edit: Crumbs is too fast for me!
