Do reptiles carry a bacteria that is dangerous to infants?
ennazus asked:
I have heard that some reptiles carry a recessive strain of sceptacemia which isnt harmful to most people but c an be dangerous for young babies or those with immune deficiencies. I am considering getting an iguana but im a childminder and i dont want to endanger any of the young children i care for. Would simply not allowing them to handle the iguana and washing my own hands after touching it be enough to ensure this or is there a greater risk that i am unaware of? Thanks

Reptiles all carry many types of pathogens salmonella etc that you be dangerous to any of the children handle them and cage care is handling it is not only would strongly suggest you could get sued proper handwashing and cage care is not let any of the children handle.
For owning reptile no matter who is needed for owning reptile no matter.
The kids gets sick not caused by genetics but more so the kids gets sick not let any person but id be worried that can be worried that you be feeling guilty but more so the blood it is handling it is handling it.
