I've not and I've had contact with reptiles my whole life. Catching wild ones and getting my first really pet lizard when I was 9 five years ago.(I've gotten a LOT more reptiles since then, just within the last 2 years) and I've not that I KNOW of.
Last August, starting at the beginning of the month, it was odd because well, for 1, I had diarrhea for the whole month and a wee bit into September(so it was hard to stay hydrated, but I did), but for the first week and 1/2 or more into August I was nauseous and just felt terrible from about 8:30 AM to 2-4PM, so it was really a monring thing, but I'd just lie there and feel terrible.
I had no appetite whatsoever and since then I definitely don't eat as much.

But really, I doubt that was salmonella. I highly doubt that since I was always careful with my dragons and my cresteds(hadn't had a snake yet), but I think it was due to stress and anxiety, one mainly caused by(I know this sounds stupid.XD) Stress about whether dad was going to let me get a ball python or not, and the expo was the 13th of that month. Not to mention that the 2-5 of September there was my first Anime convention I was a bit nervous about.

After the expo on the 13th I got a little better(not really nauseous anymore, still little to no appetite, and diarrhea,) but it was mainly after the anime convention I got completely better.

I eat more now, but I think my stomach has shrunk(possible? XD) because I don't eat THAT MUCH, but I eat enough. I've made sure to drink plenty of water/powerade/gatorade throughout the time I was sick and dehydrated.

But I definitely lost weight. Last year I was probably 136 to MAYBE 140 lbs(possibly less than). I weighed myself this morning before a shower and it read 113.5 lbs. (It was also early in the morning so my weight was lower.) But I'm normally about 116.5 now. I like this weight better( A LOT BETTER) I just don't like how I got to be that weight.


But anyway, that wasn't caused by salmonella I'm about 99.678% Positive. I think it was from anxiety/stress because I was better after the reptile expo and after the anime convention.



The only time I would have expected to get salmonella was from when I accidentally got the clear water liquid whatever from my bearded dragon's feces on the corner of my mouth.
(I rinsed and cleaned my face off REALLY well, though I think some still got in my mouth. I was fine though. XD )



I think that it would take actually getting the feces of the reptile in your mouth, especially if it wasn't a healthy reptile.(Which I make sure all my reptiles are kept healthy and clean!) and I use a lot of hand sanatiser too, as in, after handling, between handling reptiles(like, if I'm switching from holding Kallista to holding one of my lizards), and sometimes after messing with their equipment.
