A member asked:
Got salmonellosis from my lizard, just recovered from it, while cleaning its tank germs got on my face, can i get reinfected with the same strain?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Does past infection with salmonellosis make a person immune? People can be reinfected with salmonellosis if they come into contact with the bacteria again. REF: https://www.health.ny.gov/diseases/communicable/salmonellosis/fact_sheet.htm
