Tomorrow is World Hand Hygiene Day! Washing your hands is one of the most effective ways to prevent illness. PLEASE always remember to wash hands after handling animals and remind children to do the same every time! We have seen an increase in animal associated illnesses, especially in relation to livestock and chickens.
