>SARS virus ( similar to ADV) is contracted via body fluids-- hence if >you have ferrets and keep them away from other sick animals there is NO >RISK! Thank you Alicia. I live 3 hours away from the "hotspot" When you went into a Dr.'s Office or Hospital you were checked. The personnel wore masks and gloves. Not one case of SARS was reported in the Niagara Region. Sometimes I think we are overreacting cause we think our ferrets are so delicate. Let them be ferrets. Lynda [Posted in FML issue 4318]
