Every demonstration I have been too I never once saw them asking the public to wash their hands, most of these were performed in shopping malls and pet shops where "stray scents" are quite common, if these smells illicit feeding responses then why aren't people get bitten left, right and centre? I always presumed it was from the snakes being desensitized, what do you think the reason is behind it?
90% of the public dont play with mice, rats or DOC. Those that do probably wash their hands afterwards too. The risk is obviously quite small.
