I just heard on the news that
several counties in Washington State have serious outbreaks of chicken
pox and measles. If it's happening there, it may also be a problem in
your community. Yet another reason to keep your small primates at home
and away from the general public. Marmosets and Tamarins have
absolutely no immunity to Herpes Simplex which causes these common
childhood diseases (as well as the common cold sore). If out in public,
it only takes one person with a sick child at home or possibly carrying
the latent virus themselves to ignore your request not to touch. Either
of these diseases are a certain death sentence to your baby. Protect him the best way possible, just keep him home and away from strangers.
