Pet owners rarely believe that many diseases and illnesses pass between humans and their pets. However, they do, even beyond dogs, cats, and mice. More than fifty years ago, most children sported a pet turtle in a fish bowl with a little water and some rocks in it. However, few are aware that the reason they came out of pet stores was that they were pulled because of the number of children who contracted salmonella from them. Now it is known that reptiles also can infect humans with salmonella from being handled. Word from the CDC.
