Interesting post. I could name names and curl hairs but i won't. Bottom line is

you do need to be careful in koi water for the transmission of lots of things.

One dealer I know has since i've known him sprayed his hands with rubbing alcohol after each time he handles a koi and uses a paper towel to dry his hands.

An un named breeder when he was a child used to wade mudponds without
waders. that as far as i'm allowed to go.....

another unnamed breeder shunned expensive meters and developed a skill of telling you what % of salt was in the pond water from tasting, that's as much as I can say

if you are diabetic and test your blood for sugar by "sticking" your fingers quess what?

had a guy from work receive a nasty bite from his pet iguana right on the upper lip. A known salmenella carrier. I asked him what he put on it and was told nothing.....quess who kept licking his lip caused it bothered him?

please begin to take some of this stuff serious as it can be! Nuff said.....
