Sick animals were kept separate from healthy ones. Volunteers caring for sick animals were not to even enter the room with the healthy ones.<BR/><BR/>We were told to keep the shoes we wore outside our houses, wash any clothes we wore in bleach as soon as we got home, and shower before interacting with our own pets.<BR/><BR/>Granted, this was a small system compared to a hospital. Everyone was informed if one of the animals in the shelter got sick or died. Because there was a personal connection with the animals, we took our responsibility for keeping them healthy very seriously.<BR/><BR/>What I wonder is, do the people who wear scrubs home from work change clothes before cuddling on the couch with their children?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
