Speaking of doctors being prejudiced about snakes & other reptiles, just consider how many veterinarians do not like or are afraid of them & will NOT treat them
under any circumstances...and vets are well-educated ANIMAL lovers, right?Sadly, many physicians that we see know zip about herps & are happy to share
the same misinformation that's been around for years. Not saying there is "zero" risk, but you cannot raise your children in a bubble to prevent all risks no matter
what, & statistics favor all the other culprits as the source of salmonella (contamination found in the home kitchen or grocery stores, other kids, under-cooked food,
etc.). I wonder what the vet would charge to test your pets for salmonella?
