my friend has a chinchilla & the dust is everywhere. i went to visit her & it got all over my stuff including my hands. doesn't seem to go away no matter how many times i wash my hands, it's just on everything. i wipe things down & i notice it on my hands anyway. even using tape/lint roller isn't working. is this going to be a problem health wise since it is generally silica & quartz or glass (volcanic ash)? also i smoke marijuana sometimes & i am worried of the particles transferring to my fingers, onto my weed, in a bowl & smoking it... has there been any health problems from owning chinchillas related to this? any smokers who own chinchillas? please email your reply to me asap... omnivorchid@gmail. can't guarantee i'll be on here much since i obviously don't own a chinchilla. i would really, really appreciate your responses though. i have bad contamination ocd & this is messing with it hardcore. thank you in advance lovelies.
