My boyfriend and I both take the utmost concern when handling our BP Snickers.
We wash our hands both before and after we handle her or anything dealing with her home.
Less than a week ago my boyfriend got food poisoning(I am THANKFUL I didn't get it myself having had it before)
I am just wondering if he got it from Snickers though. We keep her enclosure clean. We change her water everyday, we scoop out droppings including the pee crust things as soon as they are noticed.(don't know what they are called offhand) and we completely clean her enclosure once a month.
Anyway my bf got food poisoning and we both doubt it is from Snickers but I just wonder....
We wash our hands both before and after handling her BUT sometimes she will touch our clothing when we hold her....
Could that be why he got sick???(I am just asking...I don't think it's the cause)
The last time Snickers pooped before he got sick I cleaned it up in her home but he was the one who handled her that night.(but he washed before and after which we always do)
I mean should we "roll our sleeves up"? I handled Snickers tonight and she was climbing up the sleeve of my sweatshirt...
Do I now have to take the shirt off and wash it? Am I being paranoid?
Both my boyfriend and I are pretty sure he got the food poisoning from lettuce purchased at Aldi's but I am a total germaphobe and I just want to be sure that even though we wash our hands both before and after that that is enough...
Should I immediately take off my sweatshirt and throw it in the laundry and scrub my arms down???
