I was peeling garlic and when I put my hand down Zeus licked my hand! I’m worried. Is he going to get sick from licking my hand? I rinsed my hand but didn’t get a chance to wash it yet.

It would be very unlikely for Zeus to get ill from just licking your hand, especially after you rinsed it. There would not have been enough garlic residue on your hand to cause any problems with Zeus' blood.
