Someone asked what they should do because it seems as though her son is allergic to beardies. They got a beardie a few weeks ago and her son has had a rash around his chest and neck. I said I have never heard of anything like this before, that beardies are pretty much an animal for those who do have allergies. I said it is probably something that came with the beardie and not the beardie itself. I asked what the set up was like, if they were using sand, and informed that they need to remove any loose substrate immediately. I said that when we used to use the sand at Petco, before I changed it, I would get itchy from the sand. To try some type quaranteen and try to narrow down what it could be.
There was also the mention of salmonella. I said that he may have a sensitivity to this, but again I have never heard of it. And that this is a matter not to throw out totally - always wash hands, etc., but that I don't feel it is something to over induldge about. That I give my Spike kisses constantly and so does my daughter. And, that many of us here do it as well and we have had no issues.
Any one have any ideas?
