Default Human cold?

I know that syrians can catch the human cold. Since I'm sniffling, sneezing, sore throaty and generally feeling rubbish then how much do I need to keep away from Jogo? I'd guess I'd be ok in the same room as him but am I ok feeding him and giving him floor time still as long as I wash my hands before touching him or his food?

I'm pretty sure that the germs travel in the air so it's safer to not go in the room. Is there someone else that can feed him/let him out? If not then wash your hands throughly before touching him or wear gloves if you can.

Better to be safe than sorry.

I haven't got enough rooms to completely isolate him from me but I won't be going in the spare room any more than necessary and Steve will be feeding him. I still need to go in to get stuff out of the laundry bin and see to the rats though, I can't confine them to their cage for several days.
