Recently, a college student sparked controversy by placing her pet bearded dragon directly on a soy sauce dish at a sushi restaurant and posting the photo on social media. This incident raised concerns about sanitation and health risks, as health authorities warned about the potential transmission of salmonella from reptiles like bearded dragons. They advised the public to maintain good hand hygiene and wash hands frequently to prevent infection, as these reptiles can carry bacteria like salmonella, even without symptoms. In the U.S., there have been reported cases of people getting infected by handling reptiles, emphasizing the importance of hand hygiene to avoid spreading salmonella.
