A controversy arose when a student from Yuan Ze University brought their pet gecko to a sushi restaurant and placed it in a soy sauce dish for a photo, highlighting the risk of Salmonella contamination due to reptiles carrying the bacteria in their digestive tracts. The Health Bureau advises maintaining good hand hygiene and washing hands frequently after touching geckos or other reptiles to prevent infection, citing previous cases in North America where gecko-related infections occurred. Both the restaurant and the university have taken measures to address the incident, emphasizing the importance of public health and safety.
