4 Common Zoonotic Diseases

Jessi has an univited guest join her on screen while she talks about the gross things that your pets can share with you.
*Jessi was on a medication that weakened her immune system which allowed the ring worm to form. No worries, it did not come from or spread to the animals.

[@SlyPearTree]

I never saw anyone speaking so enthusiastically about having an infection. Thanks for making it a teaching opportunity.

[@XbleedingXmascaraXD]

bwahaha i know right? I'd be crying XD

[@colourinmyrainbow]

great info. indeed but presentation a bit OTT!

[@VictoriaFaye09]

As an epidemiologist I give your explainations on the etiology, general characteristics, modes of transmission, and prevention measures an A+! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@animalwondersmontana]

Tori Holbrook What a compliment! 😄

[@katrinadeguzman8460]

Hello tori Holbrook.. i hope you notice my comment. Does Dengue Fever belongs to Zoonotic diseases? I find it complicated. Thankyou

[@natefugal2]

Your so outgoing and kind! We need more KZbinrs and informative animal groups like you guys!

[@amyjohnston910]

I watched a whole ad about nappies just to support you, love the work you do :)

[@bidaubadeadieu]

Thanks for being explanative without getting into the gorey details or showing pictures. I get squeamish very easily but I was happy to be able to learn from this this all the way through.

[@syrenawebb2605]

very informative. I like how you present the info in a calm upbeat tone, so others can be informed and not panic if a situation like this happens to them. I recently saw a rehoming pet add online. a couple were expecting their first child and wanted to get rid of their cats because the husband was worried about his wife's health. uuum, do the obvious: wear gloves when cleaning the litter box, wash hands lots, and maybe have cats on a dewormer treatment to be safe.. don't have to rehome your beloved pets, just be careful and use common sense when cleaning up after any animals.

[@LorisHartland]

I just went through this, with my little hamster she is over it now luckily and it wasn't spread 💗🐹💗.. I did 2 videos on her treatment 💗 I'm so sorry you caught it 💗luckily it is easily identified and treated. Wonderful video, very informative 💗💗💗

[@tessat338]

My cats are staying with my brother while we have renovations done. This has inspired me to wash all their bedding while they are out of the house. Thanks, Jessi!

[@craigmooring2091]

But, Jesse, you didn't tell us how you are going to get rid of your ringworm. What's the treatment protocol? Get well quickly.

[@animalwondersmontana]

Craig Mooring Lotrimin, just an antifungal cream I bought at the grocery store. Apply twice a a day and it usually dies within a week, but keep treating for 2 weeks after symptoms go away or it could come back.

[@craigmooring2091]

Good, those dimples should be seen unimpeded. ;-)

[@DocFlareon]

You gotta love Tolnaftate, even more than the athlete's foot/jock itch/ringworm that it's meant to treat.

[@DanielFoland]

I am also a big fan of Defense soap (available on Amazon). It does what it says on the tin.

[@DanielFoland]

I disagree, and using the word "dangerous" without supporting the assertion with evidence could use improvement. In defense of Defense: the soap was formulated without chemicals and specifically for humans whose skin is required to deal with constant bacterial and fungal attacks. Plants have sophisticated defenses already built and the soapmakers in Ohio did a great job blending ingredients and delivering a solid, well-priced product. What is dangerous about that, exactly?

[@graveyardgh0sts]

This stuff is so important! When I was working when animals on a daily basis I was constantly exposed to animals with ringworm or others carrying salmonella. Luckily I never got either of these. I tried to be really careful with gloves, hand washing etc. Unfortunately it still can happen (in Jessi's case) so it's really good that she's talked about possible symptoms of these diseases.

[@xcarxcar]

I love how you are so energetic and fun even when talking about diseases, and yup, they are very interesting :)

[@enbypolyshostan]

I'm eating spaghetti while watching this. Wish me luck.

[@animalwondersmontana]

whatever Mmmm, good luck! I tried this once watching Walking Dead. I wasn't successful...

[@emilka8736]

+AnimalWonders Montana HAHAHAHAHHA

[@SAMnELLA-1]

Sorry that it's your face that's affected but you're brave to do a video describing some of the diseases. BTW isn't "The Walking Dead" the best show ever. TV seems so boring when they're on their hiatus time.

[@foggy808]

Awesome video, great topic! Get better soon!

[@eileen58]

Feel better soon! Thanks for making an unfortunate situation a teachable moment. :)

[@verdatum]

That commercial with Digger the Dermatophyte....Why did he have to bend the toenail backwards? That's not a thing! That was just evil! Great video; great idea for a topic.

[@guka5149]

i love love love love love you! you are helping me so much!

[@ProfAwesomeO]

interesting topic! I'd love to here a follow up on some more of these that you didn't cover. it's especially interesting to me as I got infected with e coli when I was about 3 or 4 because a petting zoo with calves we visited didn't have proper hand washing facilities which caused a good few other problems.

[@3BottlesUpOnTop]

I was wondering where I head Toxoplasma before. It was from HFS!

[@animalwondersmontana]

Bobo Bottle I couldn't make a video on zoonotic diseases and not include toxoplasma! It's so interesting!

[@3BottlesUpOnTop]

AnimalWonders Montana It is! It's so complex too, the way it affects guys and girls differently! Ugh it's so interesting, I love it!

[@Ironsix6six]

Love your show, get well soon

[@leorex6060]

Can u pls make a tip video in which u break down the points about how to make ur conure friendly to ur pet dog and vice versa.

[@steakslapn9724]

I used to get ring worm sometimes, when I was a kid growing up on a farm. it's quite common in cattle farms. easy to get rid of though.

[@mimzywhimzy]

Hahahahah omg, this is so great, you are so great!!! I got ringworm the first month after I started working as a vet-tech. Gurl I feel your pain (or...itching, as it were). Hope it clears up super soon!! Thank you so much for making such awesome, informative, interesting videos about our animal buddies - and all the fun that comes along with them

[@alwaysfallingshort]

Still a cutie! I mean the ring worm, I guess you're alright too, Jessi :P

[@MsKnitsAlot]

Been there, Jessi! Last summer I got ringworm from calves I was working with. Super annoying and it took me months to get rid of! But definitely not the end of the world. Regarding some of those other zoonotic diseases, namely hookworm in this video, I often wonder why people who work with animals don't just take a general dewormer every year. I mean, we recommend it for our pets, might as well follow our own advice, right?

[@RosesxKissesxLove]

I got ringworm on my cheek from a goat at the petting zoo when I was young. It doesn't really hurt, it just itches. I remember it lasted a long time, about a month before it was all cleared up, even with salve from the doctor.

[@cminmd0041]

So sorry!!! That has to be so annoying. Are you usually so prone to fungal infections. You look so healthy!!

[@PinkChucky15]

I learned a lot, thanks Jessi :-)

[@supertotallyfresh5110]

I pet a sketchy dog at a shelter and got ringworm- it was so hard to get rid of(it kept spreading although I was using an antifungal and washing my sheets all the time) and so itchy. Good times.

[@cmeflywva]

We took in a cat that had ringworm back in the early 1980s. Wow, the amount of dry and itching skin. I saw the mark on your face and immediately knew what it was.

[@lilyhiller133]

Love your videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@lilyhiller133]

You videos are so awesome and your animals are so cute 😊😊😊❤️❤️

[@virginial984]

[@katrinadeguzman8460]

Hello.. i hope you notice my comment. Does Dengue Fever belongs to Zoonotic diseases? I find it complicated. Thankyou

[@itsjustblink182]

so wait.. you didnt use sanitizer so now you have ringworm lol.

[@Zoaboa723]

I was wondering what you know about Baylisascaris procyonis (raccoon roundworm). I am currently interning at a wildlife rehab center, and they don't accept raccoons or any animal they think might be infected with it that comes in.

[@efrenchen293]

I got ringworm. It spread like crazy and was a real pain (figuratively) to deal with.

[@MissAllesmere404]

We in the rat community just did a Seoul Hanta virus scare, that was nasty. Thankfully, here in the Pacific Northwest we don't have any cases of it, but for a while there we were all real scared.

[@osman9955]

İts very entertaining keep them coming :)

[@Ash-xu2fv]

For the most part, pregnant women only need to worry about toxoplasma if they are NOT already infected. If they are chronically infected, the fetus will not be impacted. However, if a pregnant woman becomes infected during the pregnancy, the infection can pass to the fetus and cause severe problems.

[@marinam5797]

I love your videos

[@LC-le9ew]

I am a vet and I had ringworm on my arm for over a year. It finally went away with miconazole cream.

[@archonic_]

Love Ya' Jess :D like who doesn't ?

[@zynnia6486]

can you do a tour for each animal room?

[@donteverftba]

Sad you didn't talk about lepto!! I work at a vet and people refuse to vaccinate for it CONSTANTLY. Best way to convince them? Tell them it can be spread to humans. Especially in the south where I live, Lepto is relatively common.

[@jayc3069]

Thank you for making me fear my cats haha. Great video though

[@totodos]

Then there's me tickling my bird's pretty (and probably poopy) toes :'D

[@superpersonisme2574]

can u please do something about how to care for pregnant animals and when there raising there young. I can't find it anywhere help

[@axelevensen3825]

That sucks. I had ringworm on my shoulder a few years ago :/

[@DanSpotYT]

You're not a kid, nor elderly...hopefully don't have a weak immune system either! Just one of those "goofy" things contracting ringworm? Thanks for sharing your situation and information. Fungus be gone! Edit: read the description about the meds. :)

[@Jenn12141983]

How is ringworm treated in humans? At my job we use this awful Lyme Sulfur dip for our patients (dogs and cats) but I'm sure it's not necessary if you don't have fur 😄

[@ssfarm5321]

hope you get beter soon

[@littlecritter13]

and pinworm. I hate pinworm. I rescued a bearded dragon who was in really bad shape and she has a super bad case of pinworm and had a lot of other digestive problems for the rest of her life. was horrible

[@serkanister3620]

Miss you Jessie, where have you been?

[@yknowthatgirl]

You're more likely to get toxoplasmosis from under cooked meat than cats. Also, I just ran a fecal on a recently adopted greyhound yesterday and there was hook worm ova all through it. Odd coincidence.

[@daviemccallum7759]

Cattle also get it as well.

[@alyssa9144]

I hug my lizard all the time never wash myself or hands afterwords ( unless I touch his dooky ) I have never had syptems of salmonella

[@jaegerthegreat7619]

When I was pretty young I got ringworm on my arm from some farm kittens, I was just fine though!

[@megurineluka2767]

Interesting topic

[@animalwondersmontana]

Megurine Lula When you have ringworm... do a video on ringworm!

[@megurineluka2767]

AnimalWonders Montana it amazing how take care of those animals and cater to each one personality. It amazing where you video ideas come from

[@sueanoimm]

Morals from this video : 1. Do not eat poop. 2. Poo is everywhere. Wash your hands.

[@rattlesnake-qh3re]

I've been told love at first sight was a fairy tail. oh well \{○u○}/

She talks about some nasty diseases with such a happy and charming smile... It´s weird.

[@rayhs1984]

Also listen to the podcast Holy F*cking Science to hear Jesse talk more about toxoplasma

[@isaacborer8409]

I have only just gotten ride of ringworm I caught it from my chinchilla

[@WatchTheMoss]

hookerworms sounds horrible. I would wash my hands heaps

[@PanicProvisions]

A good video, as usual, but it is a bit disconcerting to see someone talk so happily about diarrhea and vomiting.

[@leeeorama]

Does soap actually kill salmonella, or does it just wash it away?

[@KebaRPG]

Lee Wang Most soaps destroy the cell walls of bacteria such as salmonella, thus killing them. Also vigorously lathering exfoliates a few layers of skin (you have some tens of layers before you get down to the sensitive live endodermis) they will be on. So technically it is both at once.

Why are you assuming she's a vegan?

duh

[@alliebrown4790]

I watched this video as my cat sits next to me... and now I am worried about the toxic plasma cat one (I can't remember the full name)

[@alicianoriegavelasco6114]

Toxoplasmosis is the infection. Toxoplasma is the parasite. And while its end host are cats (both domestic and wild), it does have a bunch of intermediary hosts. It can and does infect humans that come in contact with cat feces. But not generaly from the litter box, as most (sane) humans will wash their hands after cleaning it. Instead, mostly from unwashed produce from farms that have cats to keep pests away. It can also infect several other mammals if they eat stuff contaminated with infested cat feces, and form cysts in their muscles just like it would in humans. So, most people actualy get it from eating unwashed produce and undecooked meats. If you do get it, and aren't pregnant, you will feel like you have a mild flu for about 12-15 days, and then it will be gone, no need for any medication whatsoever. If you are immunocompromised, then YOU NEED A DOCTOR ASAP. If you are pregnant, YOUR FETUS NEEDS YOU TO SEE A DOCTOR ASAP. It really isn't a scary infection in healthy people, and you probably already had it. Just wash your hands after cleaning the litter box, wash your produce thoroughly and cook your meats if you eat them. And if you do get it, getting it now will protect any future children you may want to have from the consecuences of fetal toxoplasmosis, as your immune system will get rid of it before it can get to them.
