Salmonella: Reptiles, amphibians &amp; chickens are a common source of Salmonella which can cause severe illness in humans. Best to keep pets out of food preparation areas. And always wash your hands after handling these &amp; all pets. Check out http://www.cdc.gov/features/salmonellafrogturtle/ for more info.
