Honestly I didn't find much problems with the article.

You can get salmonella from an egg, you can get food poisoned from eating anything. Me and my son had a terrible case of food poisoning after eating fish and chips.

The lady looks a complete twat and one way or another, if a 14 week old baby is contaminated it's her fault for lack of hygene or care.

At least the article wrote the name of snake correctly unlike most keepers in this forum

It's COLOMBIAN rainbow boa not coumbian

Last year I ended up pretty sick after going for a chinese buffet.

But o! Wait a minute, I have a bci! Duh, stupid me. Here was me thinking it was the food, but I have a snake so it MUST have been that.

Its a wonder that people who have lots of snakes aren't permanently sick. Or DEAD!

Well i've complained to the BBC for this unbiased, unsubstantiated report, not that i'll get any feedback, but it does make my blood boil!

For obvious reasons I cannot go into details about this matter at this moment in time. However, what I can say is so far there is no proof the child caught salmonella from the snake. The serotype involved is found in reptiles, but is associated with terrapins not snakes, it is found in other animals such as pigs.

As yet the snake has not been tested for salmonella, as far as I am aware. Until this has been done it is not safe to conclude the child caught the infection from the snake, it is equally likely it came from other source.

Rice is a massive culprit in giving people food poisoning etc, maybe worse, egg fried rice could give salmonella..... is she rehoming uncle ben too?
