Bearded dragon poop!

[Blue_the_beardie]

Hello! I'm seeming to have a issue and I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with the same thing....I'm SUCH a germaphobe! I can't stand germs! Recently, I've been really weird about my beardies poo, and I feel so grossed out about it(more than normal). I spend 10 minutes washing my hands after cleaning her poo(even though I didn't touch it). I feel like I can't take her out of her cage because if the germs from her feces. What can I do? Is there any advise that might get my brain to think otherwise? I was told 3 years ago that lizards can make you loose your hair, so maybe that's why. I'm not sure...Anyway, I'm great full for any advise! Thanks!

I think thats a myth lol.
If your that concerned, get some chlorhexidine, you can get it at amazon or tractor suppy. Get the 2% and mix it 10.0 to 1 ratio. Put it in a good spray bottle and WALA. it is used for sanitizing and an antiseptic for wounds. Just last week i talked to someone i know that worked in zoo's and he said that is what they use. He also said it was effective against Coccidia (which is what i was trying to achieve)
