Question: Working with diseases, don’t you find it scary? Could you be infected?

That’s a great question!
I have work first hand with some pretty nasty diseases. In hospitals, we always wear special clothes when working with very dangerous diseases.
In the lab, we have special equipment to keep the diseases always contained.
I have done loads of training and hours of practising to ensure I would not be at risk of getting a disease when working with it!
It is really fun!
