Judi do you know if that Ebola can be killed what-ever through good hand sanitation practices? I suppose I could try to look that up but...


I do know here they have developed new treatment what-ever protocols, but as I have been out of the traditional health care field for about 10yrs I don't get the latest communiques.


I think the thing is to not panic, but to be especially carefull if you can. And for sure I am not flying anywhere soon.


I carry hand sanitizer with me, just out of habit, and I never touch washroom handles etc with my bare hands. I wash before and after classes, and before and after restaurant eating etc. I also don't touch my face with my hands unless of course I am washing my face. lol


We are going down to Md in November so I am more than a little interested..... It is said to be a large show with folks from all over. Any advice for me? My dogs are going with me. Now my usual practice is to wipe out their crates with vinegar and water spray at days end, and before they re-enter their crates in the morning. I also have those dis-infecting wipes that I use on their paws. No food is left out at the show grounds period. Their water is never left un-attended and we never use indoor potty areas. My showgal will probably have a full bath at least once, and nightly I do the head and beard. For other reasons we lock our crate doors, if we both have to be away from their crates.


How-ever I do usually let folks pet her (after the show), and I am sure the judges are going to be making extensive use of their hand sanitizers, but nevertheless I will ask my handler to show the bite (if the judge will allow it). I am concerned with transfer of virus to dogs? Or am I just going overboard here?


It is going to be a very busy weekend, as Dara is entered into CGC, and various other events, and health clinics, as well as the regular and National shows.


Anyhow mayhap I worry too much.........
