i know alot on here have milk snakes, well my question is when a milk musks you can it make you ill??
i was handling a hatchling milk thursday and it musked me i thought nothing of it and washed my hands first chance i got which must av been a few hours after (i had no access to wash them before hand) well by the friday i was ill i had a huge fever a headache that felt as tho id been hit with a sledge hammer (yeah not a poxy claw hammer but the biggest sledge hammer you could find ouch) my kids was all fine my partner to which all tend to be if i get ill they get it well at least ones does,
what am asking is could it have been the milk musking me that made me ill or just something else??
i was thinking of getting a milk but this has put me right off unless my minds set at rest, prob a dumb question as i stated just thought someone on here might have had this happen to them as well thanks if anyone can help |

| If you put your hands near your mouth in between being musked and washing thme then the musk may have caused you illness. If not then I would say you've simply picked up a bug from somewhere |

I would agree that it's possible that it did give you a bug- but only because you didn't wash your hands after so had chance to infect yourself by contact with your hands and mouth.
Musk is a bit urinate so it will have some germs in it, but nothing that soap and water wouldn't protect you from.  |

i had no access to wash my hands as where the rep shop is its out in the sticks (middle of know where for the people that dont know lol) i asked if i could wash my hands there and they said no  and to wash them as soon as i got back into town (which i did do) but its a 1.30hrs back into town from where it is so that must have been what it was, i had no other way of washing my hands i washed them in a public toilet as soon as i could but is clear it was to late,
i think tho i wont be getting as am not gonna risk it again as it could even if i did wash them right after it really made me ill  |

| I dont think its salmonella you would have been on a drip and in hospital, its brutal, my mate was hospitalised for nearly two weeks with it, it sounds like you caught a bug. |

| Bit wrong that they wouldn't let you wash your hands though. What's the problem with you doing that? they should know that it's better to. |

| All rep shops should provide antibacterial gel for customers who have handled reps |

| I would've thought so too - they should have the gel available if they won't let you use the sink. That's just bad hygiene practice. |
