Hello,
This is partly a disease question and partly a feral question.
We have been trapping ferals for TNR and I've been extremely careful about washing myself and my clothes to keep from transmitting any diseases to our cats. Some cats in the colony have been sick, and I don't know what they're sick with.
I am wondering what's practical and what's paranoid.
What diseases will stay on your clothes? What diseases are there other than URIs, FIV, rabies, distemper and FELV that we should be concerned with?
There are enough ferals around that I don't even like wearing my shoes inside anymore.
Where do you draw the line on washing anything and everything?
