Does anybody know if humans can pass their illness onto chins? I feel a possible cold coming on and am weary of being around my girls out of fear of getting them sick.
 
yes you can. If possible have someone else in the house, who is not sick, feed and water them the entire time your sick. And just stay away from them. If your not able to do that, or you have to be the one to take care of them, then make sure you wash your hands before going over to them, and make it quick. No sticking around and cuddling them and all that. Dusk masks are a good idea to. (Of course i have a bunch simply because allergic problems anyway.)
 
Not just sick, if you get a cold sore stay away from the chins, herpes simplex 1 can be transmitted, the chin can either become a carrier and be asymptomatic and pass it to another chin to the eye and its a fatal nasty death.
