Good advice there - stay away and if you can't find someone else to put food and water out, use antibacterial soap and hand wipes. I used to get packs of "Wet ones" which kill 99% of bacteria and viruses and the effect lasts for a few hours, so I'd use them before I started handling the food or food bowl or anything else in the cage. But use antibacterial soap for a while as well. Most of the Carex squirty soaps are antibacterial - I get the one for sensitive skin which doesn't have a strong scent.
