As the 2010's come to an end, what's been the most common pathogen in infectious disease outbreaks spread by pets? Here's a hint. It rhymes with umbrella, ella, ella
Guinea pigs didn't make the list. But look at them. Nevertheless, all of this should be a reminder that looks can be misleading. No matter how cute someone looks, you don’t know what’s really inside him or her. You also don’t know what he or she is doing when you are not looking such as speaking ill of you or licking his or her bottom.
Therefore, always take proper precautions when dealing with animals. Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly after you’ve touched petsanything that pets have touched. Thoroughly clean and disinfect anything that your pets have touched that may eventually touch your face or body. Don’t use your pet’s smartphone. Keep your pets away from food or anything that you may put in your mouth.
This may be the only way that you can tell if your pet is carrying something dangerous. After all, they may not even become sick when carrying a disease-causing microbe. And even if they do get sick, you can’t always tell. They don’t always tell you, “dude, not feeling so good.”
