I'm new to raw feeding ..... but after I have feed Daizy I just wash her mustache with a baby wipe like some of the others..... and I haven't let that stop me from kissing her either....however I have a very bad immune system...I tend to get sick rather easily..........sooooooooooooooo if it is dangerous I guess I'll be the first to catch salmonella! lol So I'll keep everyone posted!
