Diseases Families Should Know]]></title><description><![CDATA[Your dog sleeps in your kid's bed. Your toddler shares a cracker with him, hand to mouth to hand. Your mom, who's on immunosuppressants after her surgery, lets him lick her face because it makes her laugh. Every one of those moments is normal, and none of them is the problem.

Probably the bed. Almost certainly you've kissed the top of his head after a walk. Here's the uncomfortable part: your dog's coat is not a neutral surface. It's a moving sample of every sidewalk, dog park, patch of grass, and storm drain he's brushed against since his last bath — and researchers have now measured exactly how much of that ends up on the surfaces you touch most.
