Nothing Funny About Salmonella

I have a tendency to joke about most things. Especially when I am uncomfortable. But, when I read the latest information about a possible salmonella scare again in the pet food industry, I had nothing to joke about.  Salmonella will make pets sick as evidenced by the 2007 pet food recall. Hundreds, maybe thousands of dogs and cats may have died. Once again, we are witnessing another pet food recall.  I began doing a little researching. I didn’t realize that even just touching dry dog food is enough to pass the salmonella.  That even a dog that appears well could be contaminated and pass the salmonella on without anyone the wiser. The obvious signs of infection for both humans and pets would be nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.
