Hi all,
Wasn't sure where to post this but just wanted to ask - has anyone else noticed any link between cleaning the crabitat and getting throat infections?! I just ask because I think that's what's happening to me, although I'm not 100% certain.
See, I gave the crabitat a good clean after noticing a small mould patch developing on the climbing wall. I immediatley discarded the climbing wall and thankfully the crabs themselves seem fine, and seem to have been wise enough to avoid the climbing wall for a couple of days. I'm just wondering if I may have breathed in any of the bacteria which may have caused the mould patch (which was white/yellow) as I now have a throat infection in the form of white patches on the back of my throat. This is the third time since Christmas!
There may be no link, but I just wondered if anyone else had noticed anything along these lines?
Cheers

Ditto Zelly on that one. I have an allergy to mold that will actually constrict my airways if I breathe in the spores. It can cause irritation, to be sure. In doing so, depending on how bad the irritation is, it MAY make you more susceptible to a bacterial infection as the area may be raw and inflammed, but it won't be the root cause... That requires bacteria... lol
