do pet lizards cause skin irritations?

Yes because they don't take shower and so they are not as clean as humans.

Yes.  Find a shampoo/soap with sulfur in it.  This is how pets are treated with scabies and it works well with humans as well.

It probably varies from person to person.  You may not be affected by food at all.  I'd go easy on the foods that I knew caused irritation and begin to use them gradually and see what happens.  These links should help.  Best of luck.

Birds have one, snakes have one, and i believe a few of the lizards only have one.

Yes, itching is a side effect. Kinda cute, people think you have some sort of tick.

There are a variety of mites out there, so I cannot generalize this answer, but parasitic mites that infest pet's ears are characterized by an overpowering foul smell, a black waxy discharge (mite crap), and usually the ear in question flops over and your pet will be reluctant to let you touch it.Should this be the case with your pet you can obtain a cleaning solution from your vet (this will wash the mites out) and a salve that stops the itching and possible infection caused by bites.With treatment it usually takes about a week to a week and a half to get everything back to normal and have a happy pet.Hope this helps some.

I have no idea what you are asking, but I will answer this question...Do lizards around the house drink water, and if so, where do they get it?"\n\nYes they drink water...and they most likely get it from their food and dew on grass and leaves.

yes, the material can irritate your skin...

Do you have a pet dog?  I used to have a German Shepherd, and sometimes one of her hairs used to 'worm' its way under the skin - very sore, I just had to pull them out.

Reptiles possess scaly skin to conserve moisture. They can control their body temperature by gaining or losing heat from surroundings. By using external heat, they do not need as much energy as the birds and mammals. Hence they need less food and breathe at a lower rate, which help them to conserve moisture.

It's bad if the lizard bit your right foot and it was a poisonous one. It's good if the lizard didn't bite you and it was a poisonous one.

We humans think because we shower that we are very clean. This is not all true. Cats and dogs spend a good portion of their day cleaning their butts with their mouths,and yet a human bite has a significantly higher risk of becoming infected than that of either cats or dogs. The bacteria that reside on our bodies are not all bad. Anti-bacterial soaps actually do more harm than good by disrupting the natural balance of bacteria on the skin. Anyway Apes aren't that dirty. (although homo-sapiens are considered to be in the great ape family of primates...and we're pretty dirty).

could be something bit your dog even while it slept.  Could be a spider bite, a cockroach bite, an ant bite, fleas....almost any insect that comes into the house.  My suggestion would be first to fog your house or apartment, and then ask your vet to take a look....usually just a rash or loss of hair could mean alergy like to the tube flea preventative you use.  Because dogs go outdoors one never knows what bites out there.  But first figure out if your dog got into something new you're using around the house (then ask the vet).  Could be he just sat on some ants.
