Okay I need some help, over on the BOI if anyone read that thread about Ian G and some kid Ralphie, I believe someone in there someone said something about a ball python can contract hookworms from a person if they had handled a bearded dragon without properly washing their hands....is this true?

I ask because my g/f wants a BP and they have a bearded dragon in the house so I want to find some stuff for her and her family to read about so they don't endanger the BP or beardie

Any help is greatly appreciated

(ps. sorry if this isnt the right section but I thought it would be okay here...)
