Today my 11 year old nephew told me 8 year old when I told her to tell him he need to wash his hands after touching the ferrets. He told her no when she offered him hand sanitizer telling her his mom said that he is allergic to it and can’t use it. Both me and my husband told him that is impossible it’s hypoallergenic and that nobody is allergic to it. I again told him weather or not he uses it or not he needs to go and wash his hands.
He finally did. I know he isn’t allergic to it because I’ve seen him use hand sanitizer many many tomes.

Yes I know that. We have both in our house. I didn’t charge which he wanted to use I just wanted him to wash his hands after touching the ferrets because they can get you sick or you can get them sick. So it’s important to wash after your done touching them before you touch other things and eat. Hand sanitizer will kill 99% of germs but shouldn’t be used for every wash because it does dry skin outs

Yep, I didn’t care if he used it or not I just wanted him to wash his hands if he wanted to wash them in the sink with water and soap I told him that it was fine he just ended to do so after touching the ferrets.

@LadyDuck yep a lot of animals can get sick from you being sick or the other way around. Ferrets and humsand get the same sickness.

It's good to have the habit of frequent washing of the hands.

Yep, we two the kids after every time they touch the ferrets to please wash your hands before you do anything else. I don’t care if it’s the hand sanitizer or soap and water in the bathroom just clean themZ

Yes but if you don’t have any hand sanitizer works just as well. We have both on hand at home because of 3 kids.
