immunocompromised people avoid all contact with reptiles and items the animals have touched
It is my personal opinion that people with weak immune systems should be outdoors a bit more often around all the "harmful" bacteria and disease. That's how the immune system works; exposure.

And salmonella my foot! I never wash my hands after handling snakes (with the obvious exception of QT'ed snakes, but that's for their health, not mine) and have let them hang out in the kitchen and dining room for years and the only person in my household who has ever had salmonella acquired it from undercooked eggs.

The only thing in this article that I do not believe to be BS is the bit about importation. I am 100% for banning WC reptiles. Imo it's cruel and brings parasites into existing collections. But the rest of this article is nonsense.
