A member asked:
As a teacher, i deal with band aids, blood, and boogers. kids aren't afraid of touching gross things-then me. is there a chance of disease/concerns?

Wash your hands: and have the children wash theirs. Wear gloves when appropriate, i.e. when dealing with body fluids. Keep hand sanitizer available and instruct children in its use to avoid spread of viruses. As a teacher you will probably get a lot of colds the first year then be immune thereafter. Be sure to get your flu shot.
