I was told that when you handle your reptiles and other animals that carry bacteria when your sick....YOU have a better chance of picking up what they carry on top of what you already have. Your immune system is low etc. So I'd imagine if your sick your better off keeping a low profile from all non domestic creatures. Even birds etc. Care for them and wash up xtra good ! As far as them catching colds from you....I don't think anyone really has a straight answer for you. Not enough reasearch done yet. Besides if your sick...you probably don't feel like getting scratched and roughed up anyway...LOL Get better soon......Marsha :o)
