saliva, blood, semen, feces, etc. can all trasmit salmonella.
i kid i knew got badly scratched from his ig, and got it.
being microscopic, salmonella can travel trough any body liquid.
thisis why you always have to wash your hands after petting any reptile, even if you dont touch the vent.
since there are risks, why not prevent them, right?
see ya around the forum!

: Don't you mainly get salmonella from the feces? How it would help to wash the outside of the ig?
