I have gotten so many conflicting reports about ear-mites.  One person told
me that anyone anywhere near the ferret or anything it had been on was prone
and should be treated as infected.  Another person said nope -- only cats
and dogs are in danger.  And yet another person said it's possible but not
TOO likely.  (So, basically, I got three replies which were all different!)
 
What I have decided is to ask my local vet and then also the family doctor
(to see whether I have an ear infection or ear mites).  Then I will share
the information I find out -- because it might be of service to some of you
in the future.
 
I hope my experience will help everyone and I will do my best to let
everyone on the FML know the results of my findings.
 
Thanks to those of you who replied to my question. :o)
