How to live and work with animals in activity and therapy programs and stay healthy
One of the risks in bringing people together with animals is that we share parasites, bacteria and fungi which live in, on and around our bodies. Some of these microscopic life forms can cause diseases. Most of these diseases are easily prevented. This booklet is organized into chapters based on major types of animals used in AAA programs, Dogs, Cats, Rabbits and rodents, birds, reptiles and fish. General advice is given on keeping your animals healthy, major ways that diseases are transmitted, the most common diseases to watch out for, what they look like in animals, what they look like in people, and how you can prevent transmission.
