Wow, you have a better chance of contracting something more serious than Salmonella from the animals you come in contact with.



This is not the first I have heared of Doctors having this view. Since working at the local pet store I have spoken with several women who had been convinced to turn in their pet snakes (mostly Ball Pythons) once they became pregnant because thier doctors had put the fear of god in then with mention that thier animals carried Salmonella. After I had talked to them, most ended up feeling prety bad, not for what I had said but because they were getting rid of a favored pet.



I'm not quite sure where their doctors came up with this impression but they are very uninformed on the issue for doctors. Maybe I will see if I can get ahold of the doctor that delivered my son and see what he has to say on the issue.





Chris,

Indiana
