[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, not everyone is a germaphobe or whatever.  I may be in the minority, but picking up an animal wouldn't cause me major distress, so maybe she is like that as well.
Although I see now that I'm late to this thread anyway, and probably irrelevant :)[/quote]

Microbiologist here - you are an idiot. 
A germophobe is someone who cannot bear a normal, non-life-threatening amount of microbes in every day life.
An idiot is a person like you who ignores that animal diseases passed to humans can have deadly consequences. Animals sometimes die from disease. There are cases every year of children (or adults) who touch dead animals or their feces and die of varying viruses.[b] There was one particular case recently where a little girl was walking in the woods with her parents, put down her jacket next to the carcass of a small animal, did not touch this animal, was brought to the ER with symptoms of rabies, diagnosed with rabies, and saved in extremis. The jacket was contaminated.[/b]
