She works quite a lot with formaldehyde, thats pretty nasty stuff, i got some on my hands whilst doing a PM on a baby rabbit of ours that died, it burns!!!
I am lucky, the most dangerous stuff i play or used to play with is Jet fuel!! |

rather you than me!! I was trained to deal with cyanide, amongst many other nasty agents, but if i remember rightly, theres not much you can do with it, the lethal dose is so small, 350 parts per million for more of less instant death if my memory serves. |

| You have to remember though, children under 2 and old folks dont have as good immune systems as the rest of us. It would be silly to not wash your hands if you live with these aged people. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

| Is it really the hygiene issue or is your Mum a little freaked out by snakes anyway? Could it be an excuse? As everyone else says you do have to be carefull to properly clean hands before and after but the germs are only transferrable by touch so its a really low risk compared to leaving the house and going shopping where bugs are everywhere! |
