    Whooping cough and snakes?

    I'm almost positive I've come down with the whooping cough or the 100 day cough. An article says that this is usually caused by a bacteria. That concerns me when it comes to my snakes. Does anyone know if this bacteria could harm my snakes or infect them?

    Heres the article

    Pertussis can affect multi-species of mammals but I don't believe your whooping cough will have any negative effect on your reptiles. At least I couldn't find any research suggesting otherwise. Everything I've read leads me to believe they will be fine.

    Hope this helps.
