I think it is funny how those articles always fail to go on to explain how dogs and cats can also transmit salmonella to us, as can pet birds and fish. Plus dogs and cats have some other nasties we can catch from them in addition to the salmonella.
People watch dogs sniffing each others butts and licking themselves and eating poop off the lawn, etc, and then let the dog lick their face. If that isn't a great way to catch salmonella or other parasites I don't know what is.
LOL

Together my friends, we can take over the world!! We can start a new breed of humans whom have independent eye's, color changing capabilities, and abnormally long accurate tongue's capable of snagging a cheeseburger from 5 feet away. Rise of the Salmonellian's.

Don't really understand what point you're trying to make. In a biking accident at speed, there is a high chance the bike smacks you in the head, not to mention you smashing your head on the pavement. I would not be alive today if I had not worn a helmet while riding. Take it from someone who has been hit by a car and had his bike hit him in the head (helmet) many times.
Yes I'm a mountain biker but my worst accident occured when I was young and just riding a regular bike on the sidewalk. Don't be stupid, wear a helmet.

thats one of the main reasons i breed my own crickets as they are usually malnurished, dehydraited, and most likley have been gutloading off their own dead..i regularly clean the bottom of my free range with a lil tilex, windex, and then warm soapy water(also i take their tree outside once a month a clean it off..although they are pretty good about not hitting the tree, they drop the terds on the tiles)..ive always thought about it..but its really just for dirty a$$ people that never clean their reptiles or themselfs..and also children, and old farts are the most subseptible..like others have said..just wash yer damned hands!!

yeah i was a skateboarder for 14 years..never wore a helmet once ( if your one of those clumbsy a$$ people that fall on your head, ied say you probably werent meant for extreme sports..LMAO)
p.s. ive also totalled an rf600r streetbike on the free way, was cut off, still never touched my head on the ground, not a single scratch on my helmet...
but i DO wash my hands after plying with my lizards

Meh. Now I'm sounding like a nagging father. It's just crazy how quickly concrete and gravity can rearrange your face. I guess people don't learn until it happens to them. Not my hospital bill.
But back to chameleons, I feel (imo) that they are less prone to harboring Salmonella than terrestrial reptiles. Again, opinion NOT fact. Any thoughts on this?

I havent actually crashed anything (well i have, 3 cars, one was a truck I flipped upside, but not the point) but concrete can rearrange a face pretty uncomfortably. I fell when i was 12 off my bike, and smashed my forehead on the concrete sidewalk..... needless to say... some 20 stitches later and ruined glasses and shirt.... not including all the towels i used to stop the blood (man head wounds bleed alot) I am respectful of helmets ( i wasnt wearing one.. i was a kid.. i know horrible, i do now though)
and as for chams... I think you are right. I think they are cleaner lizards than some that i have seen, simply because they dont wander around in their own feces (like iguanas do bc they dont climb). JMO

I think wearing a helmet when handling chams is appropriate... lol. though i do think chams should wear helmets when we handle them... since they seem to enjoy suicide jumps from 5 feet in the air. (at least my guy does)
and didnt you see godzilla? he was a reptile who killed people. or anaconda.. or croc attack... lol!

ya..not quite my thing..speedo's are not a good look for me..also ied rather be knee dragging canyon twisties at 160 rather than going maybe 60 down the biggest hill you can find..then when you crash all you do is pick cactus out of your sack..LOL

In my province More people are harmed by dogs alone than by all the pet lizards and snakes and amphibians COMBINED. Horses kill or harm more people than the reptiles too.
I believe humans are responsible for more illness and death to other humans than any other animal around.
So I guess I'd be safest living alone far away from everything except my pet reptiles and amphibians!
Wash your hands is the best advise you can get. And not just after handling your chameleon either - but also after touching money, bank machines, door knobs, escaltor rails, etc etc etc

Ugh, I never wear lycra. That stuff is nasty. To each his own..I'd rather be hitting berms, drops, jumps and rock gardens. Flat ground is boring.
