 ************************
Well that was fun.
Could they not just have a list without explanations for each one?
Really screws with my ability to copy and paste long lists...
 
I am not sure if I covered the whole list.. there could be more. 
There probably is more. 
Be afraid.. be very afraid. 

 
 




 Or don't.






Just remember to wash your hands
Wash your fruits and vegetables 
Don't drink contaminated water ( or wash food with it )
Be aware of scratches or bites
Use bug spray
Never pick up a dead animal with your bare hands
Keep cats inside or monitored outside( harness, enclosure)
Apply flea and tick prevention on cats
  Be aware of different diseases if you go on vacation 

VACCINATE YOUR PETS
Oh, while you're at it..
VACCINATE YOUR DAMN KIDS!
