You can also get it by allowing your dog lick your face after eating those Chinese-made chews, rawhide, hooves, pig ears, etc. You should carefully wash your hands after handling any reptile including turtles because they carry the bacteria.

I certainly hope that nobody is still buying any dog treats made in China. Or anywhere outside the USA for that matter.

@deepwaterdotter, I have fantasies about Rhode Island Reds-influenced by Warner Brothers no doubt!

My 14 year old niece has a bunch of chickens. I'll have to ask her if she cuddles them.

As much as I love our chickens - they have their coop and we have our house.

There have been threads where dog owners said their dog's mouth was cleaner than a human's and they let them eat off the plates that the family uses.

I might be in trouble because I've been told that I have chicken lips.

I was in the middle of a salmonella outbreak years ago.

It took days to find the source which was a broken water pipe under a chicken farm.

Chickens are messy and smelly and are always scratching and pecking around in the dirt and grass and chicken poop. I'm not at all surprised about that.
