I find myself defending me F/T choice more often than not. Your story is one of the big reasons I started with F/T. I know the risk is low but I am just not going to unless the risk is outweighed by something else, like a snake that won't eat for a long time and for no good reason. I really don't understand why people ask me why I feed F/T when those same people feed their cat(s) / dog(s) kibble and have no problem cooking up a frozen steak. Because its safe, convenient, and the death of the animal is removed from my house.
