| Re: Hand-Foot-Mouth disease?
If you are concerned, wear gloves when touching your pigs and their food, environment etc. - that's the main precaution I'd take.
If it comforts you any - my toddler brother and sister had a nasty case of it last year, they live in the same house as the pigs, and the pigs were in no way affected. I had a few tiny blisters on my hands and tongue but nothing more. As the main caregiver for the pigs (and second-main cregiver for twins) I was heavily involved in both. |
