Prevalence of Salmonella?

[Surrealle]

They basically say that feces are bad, who doesn't know that? Literally, every animal in the world can give you salmonella. Now, I said can. Not will. Maybe even has the chance is a better wording. Or, has the potential.

Relevant to the topic at hand though, for me anyway as I don't feed live, is if salmonella is killed of in freezing temps. I don't know if that's been touched yet in this aged thread.

From what I understand, (and I'm not claiming to be an expert here), freezing does not kill all bacteria, it generally just stops it from multiplying. Bacteria is killed when it is cooked.

This is someone else's quote which I cannot speak to the validity of, but it goes in line with what I've been taught and explains it better than I can.

"Salmonella and other types of bacteria such as E. coli are not killed by freezing. Rather, the cells' metabolisms slow down and they stop dividing. However, when rewarmed, the cells will begin dividing again. The only way to kill salmonella and E. coli is by heating the cells to a temperature which causes them to lyse, or break open. Freezing does not necessarily lyse cells; some cells may die, but many will survive. Microbiologists often freeze colonies of bacteria for later use."

Again, I don't know if this is factual, but until I read otherwise this is what I believe to be true.
