Good morning.

Chelle here.

What do you use to clean/disinfect your hands after scooping litter of a cat
with
hookworms (or any worms)? I want to avoid contaminating my others. Mr.
I-have-hookworms is currently in isolation for two more weeks.

TIA

Soap and water for a minute should do the trick unless you get poop under
the nails and then a quaternary ammonium solution should help with that.

We buy nolvasan (sp?) surgical scrub from our vet by the gallon and wash
our hands with the stuff all day long.
