A disease which can be transmitted from animals to humans is known as a zoonotic disease. There are several external and internal cat parasites which are zoonotic, some of which can be more serious to humans than to their pets.

This is because humans are an abnormal host for feline parasites, so the parasites become lost and confused in a human body and do some unusual things when they cannot find their way to a target feline organ. If you aren't sure whether or not your kitten continues to have worms, the only way to tell is to take a stool sample to the vet and have it checked. Deworming is something that's routinely done for kittens and puppies because about 99% of them do get worms through their mother's milk. But your vet should have told you to bring in a stool sample to be checked just to make she's cleared.
