Re: Ever gotten Salmonella from your reptiles?
Nope. Got it from eating chicken at a Thai restaurant once, though.
However, I do not kiss my reptiles, stick them in my mouth, stick my hands in my mouth after handling them, etc. I wash my hands before, and after handling them. When I clean their tubs I used a bleach solution, I wash my hands in between tubs, etc., & I only use the bathroom sink to wash out any bowls, etc. Also, if I go to a reptile store or show I use hand sanitizer before and after handling any herps.
Just a few simple precautions are all that is needed to keep the reptiles and the humans safe.
