Oh my god, please not IBD.

I had done some research on different aspects of IBD, and how to recognize symptoms and best quarantine methods a few years ago. I can't find those articles now, but I did find this article by Peter Kahl:

I want to point in particular to this bolded sentence in the paragraph:


We want to remember that snakes sneeze, just like they have other bodily functions.

If I am in error, please correct me. My research may be outdated now.

*quarantine features..I have a very old house and there are radiators..I do not have a shared ventilation system.

Thats where I'm confused, I was under the impression that snakes cannot cough because of no diaphram, and I guess I shoved sneezing into that category as well.

If snakes could sneeze, then I suppose any sickness could be airborne, and it would probably also be possible for us to transport the virus for short distances through our nose like some viruses can.
