Can using brett/sour bugs infect a room?

I'm venturing into the world of using brett and other bugs. I was wondering if by just using them, is there a chance I could infect an area of my house? I don't make a ton of beer, but I have a good bit of mead aging in carboys. Is there anything I should worry about as far as infections go? I figure most of the mead is probably high enough ABV not to worry about (but I'm not positive), and I plan on using seperate equipment. Is just keeping the sours out of the immediate area of my other stuff, and using separate equipment good enough? Any information is appreciated.
Thanks

This shouldn't be a problem, especially if you are using separate equipment. The bugs and brett will not leave the wort, so the only potential risk is contamination from surfaces the beer touches. In fact, there are probably plenty of bugs and brett in your brewing environment anyway, especially if you store grain there. Basic sanitation should prevent any contamination.

This guy sprayed the walls of his open fermentation room with soured beer. Does it contribute to his sour beers?

Breweries in Belgium have been know to splash the walls of their brewhouses for this very purpose.

+10 Brett cells don't have legs. They need all the help they can get. Milk Creek Brewery is a Brett rescue brewery. Ha Ha Ha
