LOL...you would think some of this stuff is common sense, liking washing your hands after messing with animals and/or animal things.
Mind you, its not really a knock against anyone here per say, but more to a lot of the folks I have encountered over the years, working at the LPS and beyond. I just talk straight with them. They come to me, asking about and worried about Salmonella and whatnot, and I ask them, "Do you plan on putting turtles in your mouth? Do you plan on picking your nose or licking your fingers after handling your pet lizard? Just wash your hands after playing with your pets and you'll be fine!"
