Flea treatments, residue affects tank

[Cichlaholics Anonymous]

We have a puppy that was given a flea/tick shampoo (the brand was Sentry), my concern is that tomorrow is when I do my weekly water changes, and I'm concerned that there could be residue on my hands from the medication in the dog shampoo. anybody else have this problem? solutions? thanks

not planning on washing your hands between now and then or what?

I'm worried about whether or not residue stays on your hands even after washing

I doubt any/enough residue would be on your hands/skin after a thorough hand washing/shower.

wash your hands well or use latex or vinyl gloves

I'll probably end up doing that (using gloves), thanks!

shouldnt be a problem if you wash your hands, i have gotten frontline on my hands then washed them once and went straight on to doing tank maintenance.

I just assumed the pesticide was pretty resistant to water since it stays on the dogs for days after use

So best is to wear gloves like Anne mention above.
