    I don't think this will be as big of a problem as you expect. I think the foundation you have laid is fantastic, just keep reminding her that all animals have the capacity to bite (people too), but they only do it if they are afraid or hungry, and how to avoid those situations - and don't make a big deal about it, just another factoid about keeping animals, and good handling practices. One day, if/when you do get bit, don't make a big deal about it, and neither will she! Just explain how and why it happened, and oops oh well, safer next time! And then on to better and less bite-related things.
