    If you have pet ducks from the time they're very young and they're not exposed to other wild animals you'll be okay... You don't really need to wash your hands after handling them; just think of them like a baby... You can get sick from them if you handle their poop and not wash your hands or something but you'll be fine if you don't let them get infected.
