>>A friend and I need some info on diseases that reptiles can spread to humans. We have Semonila, but are looking for more. If anyone have any info or knows where to find info to help us, I would really appreciate it! Thanks.


I think you must mean Salmonella, not Semolina. There a many pathogens that can be passed from reptiles to humans. This cross-infection from animal to human is known as zoonosis. Try an internet search with the keyword "zoonosis".
