Hello, sorry to hear about your pups. You can cuddle your dogs and allow them to hang out with you as long as they are not defecating in unwanted areas. They will typically shed worms and eggs on their feces for up to 5-7 days after deworming. Precautions to take at home include cleaning any feces immediately after they poop and washing your hands immediately after picking up after them. Most common route of infection to humans is through fecal to oral, so by thoroughly washing your hands after cleaning for them, you will reduce your chanced of becoming infected. Hope this helps and best of luck.
