By not washing your hands thoroughly after touching the guinea pig or any of it's things. Ecoli, if present, is in the feces of the guinea pig. Since it lives in the same bedding as it goes to the bathroom in, it is on the guinea pig and it's house, bowl, etc. When you touch these things it gets on your hands and possibly your clothing. By not keeping clean after you handle the guinea pig, you may rub your eyes or eat something. This takes the ecoli bacteria right from your hand into your own body system. Giving you ecoli.
