The Health Protection Agency (HPA) has issued a seasonal reminder to anyone visiting open farms over the Easter weekend not to rely on sanitising hand gels or wipes to protect themselves or their children against germs which may be present in farm environments. To reduce the risk of infection visitors should thoroughly wash their hands using soap and water after handling animals or touching farmyard surfaces and always before eating or drinking. Full advice is available directly from the following link to the HPA website: www.hpa.org.uk/NewsCentre/NationalPressReleases/2011PressReleases/110420handwashing/
