Mite Transfer??

Okay, I hope I don't sound too OCD, but I was at a pet store today, and I handled a bp, and I noticed it had mites(obviously, I won't ever shop there again.) What was sad is that the store employee took it out and didn't even notice - I had to tell her.

The point is, I am wondering how long snake mites can survive on humans. I immediately washed my hands, but stayed out 4 more hours. When I came home, I immediately took off the clothes I was wearing, put them in the washer, showered and disinfected my hand and wrist jewelry, w/ a vingegar water solution I was just wondering if I took enough precautions, and if there's a mite lingering around on my person, how long would it take to die. I am actually afraid to handle my guys tonight, for fear of transferring them.

Like I said, I may be a little OCD, but better safe than sorry, right?

Thanks guys,
Traci
