Can a bluey catch a disease from a human? I want to know EVERYTHING about them before I get one, so I can prevent most problems before they happen.

Negative infact i asked the same question when confronted with BTS with the flu ....Look up the pestamid e worm,,, I think its called lives on alot of reptiles ..And can kill humans..We can catch salmonella ..from poo in there feet...Proper hand watching tecks must be used before and after handling them...Ive a book here on the types of things we can catch from BTS ..A page full...So no they cant catch anything ..But we can get sick if we dont watch our hands before eating .

This worm isn,t common but like others but we use gloves and disinfectant hand wash .Were handling sick bobtails
