Another gel user, both before and after handling. My snake certainly associates the smell with me and seems happy enough to treat me as an alcohol scented climbing tree.

I think we need a wider range of test subjects. Besides, I think I am either immune already, my snakes don't for some magical reason don't carry anything or I am just very lucky. With the amount of times my snake comes into contact with my face.
