Weakened Immune System: Lambing Safety Guidelines 

Avoid Risky Contact

Take extra care when near lambs, birthing fluids, afterbirth, and areas where animals are kept during lambing. These can carry infections that are especially dangerous if you have a weakened immune system.

Use Protective Measures

If you need to be around animals, wear disposable gloves, aprons, and overalls. Regularly disinfect clothing, boots, and equipment to minimise the risk of contamination.

Maintain Good Hygiene

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, avoiding reliance on hand gels. Keep your nails short and clean to reduce the risk of infection.

Stay Safe Around Pets

Regularly worm farm and household pets, avoid handling faeces, and always wash your hands thoroughly after any contact. These precautions help prevent potential infections from pets.
