Get some latex gloves to cover your hands with when handling the rats? Wash your hands a lot?

I just thaw them...make sure they're heated properly....quickly feed all the snakes...and then wash my hands very thoroughly. Never had an issue...and farm-raised rats are not known to carry any diseases like a wild rat might.
