Leave out the WWW at the beginning... send questions to nailsplashnews-queue@listbot.com .

Good question! Practice "Universal Precautions"... which means that you should assume that any and ALL clients are infected with a communicable disease! Because you just don't know who is and isn't as many clients don't know themselves!

I'll address the topic more in the next newsletter. In the meantime, see the section in my website (in FAQ's) about protecting your self at work (gloves, glasses, barrier creams, etc!) at www.nailsplash.com .

To send a question to the Queue write to:
nailsplashnews-queue@listbot.com , to subscribe to the Newsletter write (blank email) to:
nailsplashnews-subscribe@listbot.com .

Take care!
