Uh Oh I'm sick, can it pass to my axolotls too?

[vainglory]

So I just caught a cold, I'm not feeling too bad, but I'm afraid it can transfer to my axolotls or fish like it can with my ferrets. Does any one know if it can? I've been washing my hands and arms before feeding them, but I'm worried I might get the sickness in the water when I clean the tanks today. I'd assume it wouldn't spread since they're different kingdoms of animals.

Well I've never seen an axolotl sneeze.....!
I have no idea if axies can catch a common cold - I very much doubt it as their biology is so different to mammals.
I know my axies haven't suffered any adverse affects when anyone in my house has been ill.
