Can you get sick from touching a salamander?
If, after touching or handling an amphibian or reptile, you touch your hands to your mouth without thoroughly washing them first, you can infect yourself with Salmonella. The germs can also get on cages, aquariums, terrariums, the water reptiles and amphibians live or swim in and other containers that house them.
