I myself seriously doubt the high numbers attributed to salmonella being contracted from reptiles. Although improperly cared for animals can have heavy loads of bacteria, that can also be true of any animal, and several of those "contagious" diseases listed are most common in cats and dogs.
If you list EVERYTHING but cats and dogs, then yes a lot of injuries will crop up, since they are lumping tigers with cornsnakes. That's simply ridiculous, but nothing I wouldn't expect from a organization that will eventually try to outlaw keeping even dogs.
