    Default Human sickness

    I know if a human has a cold, a cat or dog won't catch it, but will a frog, considering they are so sensitive and absorb things through their skin? Is there certain things they can and cannot catch? I'm curious as I've been sick for a couple days and just figured it's allergies (I never get them this time of year so it's weird). I planned to not handle my frogs until I feel completely better. Anyways, just wondered more on this subject. Thanks.

    There aren't too many things they can catch from you. Most diseases have a tendency to be group specific, i.e., primate diseases don't generally infect frogs. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, avian flu for example.
