UK baby catches salmonella from pet snake and lizard
The two-month old didn’t just catch salmonella from exotic family pets.
It wasn’t like she cho
se to cuddle with them.
I have a six-month-old and don’t let her get intimate with reptiles.
The Widnes tot was taken to hospital after environmental health officers found the family’s corn snake and bearded dragon lizard were both carrying the deadly bacteria (Salmonella).
The story also says that pet owners are also being urged to keep the animals away from kitchen sinks and bath tubs, and to even avoid smoking and handling them.
So try not to smoke your lizard. Or let your baby touch it.
