For what it's worth, I'm inclined to agree with the majority here. LOL, if you can call three or four people a majority. Point being don't be fanatical, just use common sense. Wash up after handling your reptiles, and when the child is old enough to partake in the hobby be sure he/she does too. I remember growing up handling quantities of snakes throughout any given summertime and NOT washing up afterwards, sometimes even at meal time for that matter. NOT smart and certainly not safe, but I came away unscathed. Been playing with reptiles of one sort or another for 45 of my 55 years and THEY have never been the cause of any illness I have had. Doesn't mean it can't happen. Just be sensible about it.
