I truly appreciate posts like these, but things like this also makes me think about all the warning lables we DID NOT HAVE and we all survived ... okay, so I may have some neurological issues from sucking on my silver dollar turtles I got when I was four, but my doc said I should be ok ... sorry, bad joke ... Seriously, there is a major issue with parenting today. Our children grew up with all kinds of critters (not to mention what they found outside) and not once, were they ever sick because of it. I think I may have been sick when I witnessed my youngest brushing her teeth in the tadpole water (it was one of those kits where you hatch the eggs and grow your own frogs - she hasnt yet lived that down), but til this day we still have salmonella ridden critters. The list is much shorter now, than when the kids were little, but at present, we still have chickens, fire belly toads, fire belly newts, argentine black and white tegu, bearded dragon, and leopard geckos... The most simple answers are SUPERVISION and SOAP AND WATER... If a so called parent can not handle those two solutions, maybe they shouldnt have had children in the first place!!! Shit will happen, but at the rate kids ARE getting sick, suggests there to be a serious problem here!
