Well it depends I believe on what you are asking.
Can we get the parasites they typicall have from them (coccidia, pinworms?), not from what I have read. Those are species specifics.
Salmonella? Only if you insist on touching the poop directly (and he/she has it) and then put your hands DIRECTLY into your mouth.
Anyone else have advice for this person?

As far as I know, just salmonella and you're more likely to get to from the food you eat than from your dragon. No matter what, it is always a good idea to wash your hands before and after handling your dragon.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
