EN — For pet owners. Some illnesses can pass from animals to people. The CDC's Healthy Pets, Healthy People program covers zoonotic (zoe-oh-NOT-ic) diseases — the diseases people get from animals. Pets can sometimes carry germs that can make people sick even when they look healthy (e.g., reptiles like turtles/lizards/snakes commonly shed Salmonella). Simple habits — handwashing after handling pets/cleaning up, and not kissing reptiles — sharply cut the risk. Bottom line: pets are great for health, but basic hygiene protects both of you.
中文 — 给宠物主人。 有些疾病会从动物传给人。CDC 的Healthy Pets, Healthy People(健康宠物,健康人类)项目讲解人畜共患病(zoonotic diseases)——即人从动物身上得的病。宠物即使看起来健康,也可能携带能让人生病的病菌(例如龟、蜥蜴、蛇等爬行动物常排出沙门氏菌)。简单习惯——接触宠物或清理后洗手、不亲吻爬行动物——能大幅降低风险。结论:宠物有益健康,但基础卫生能保护你们双方。
