Thought this was... different
Those Nasty Reptiles. << My Kids Mom
The kids (not mine) yesterday found some salamanders under the trampolines. They were all handling them and taking them to different spots and what not. I thought this was a little gross, but whatever, kids are kids, and a salamander isn’t something you see everyday in the wild. So at lunch time my dad made this big announcement about how salamanders can carry disease on their skin that if touched without washing can make you very very sick and even prove fatal. After that my step mom informed me of a little boy who touched his pet iguana and didn’t wash afterward and was sick for like, 5 years. I think I might be on the Slow Train or something because I did NOT know this! I mean, I’ve never owned a reptile before, or known anyone who has, so I guess maybe that’s the reason. So I hope all the kids washed their hands! Yick!
