It's usually only a problem if you have an infant (hand in mouth and lower immune system). Lysol and ammonia also kill it. A lot of reference material has to put worst case scenario just in case but I'm telling you, if it were that easily spread to people everyone who came in our shelter or any animal shelter ever would probably get it. Luckily it's not that scary.
Ps Molli had Giardia twice from a stupid daycares I took her to(she's a poo eater) I didn't keep her kenneled or separated, my other dog didn't get it nor did we. I just cleaned up after her when she went poo |
My boyfriend and I both caught it from MJ.
