what worries me is that people handle dead rodents, don't wash their hands, and then put their hands in their mouth.

Or worse..

Clean an enclosure (and apparently touch) snake poop and don't wash their hands, and then put their hands in their mouth.

NAAAAAAAAASSSSSSTYYYYYY!!!!!!

Maybe a bout with salmonella will teach them to be more hygienic! lol

On a serious note though, the salmonella outbreak does worry me. It's just another negative light on our hobby.
