Newsflash: If You Make Out With Your Pet Chicken You Might Get Salmonella and Die
One person has died and 86 have been put into the hospital in the latest outbreak of salmonella connected to pet poultry, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Wednesday.
The CDC says 368 people have reported getting sick since May 20, bringing this year's total to 465 poultry-related salmonella cases reported in 42 states. That's about twice as many as were reported at the same time last year, the CDC said.
People say they like the companionship the birds provide, much like a cat or dog would.
[…] Chickens should be outside animals only and while they may be cute, the CDC says, please “don’t kiss or snuggle backyard poultry.”
Full story here.
I’ve already gone on record stating that I think salmonella is a made-up disease created by parents to prevent their kids from eating cookie dough or owning turtles. But for those of you who still believe in the false flag operation that is Salmonella, I’d be remiss not to warn you that kissing or cuddling your poultry might result in death. I’ll be honest, I didn’t know you delinquents were into this kinda thing. Last time I checked people wore snow suits and shit to deal with chickens because they were so vicious. Regardless, I’ve never seen them as the cuddling type.
But hey, don’t knock it til you try it. I can’t judge. Sometimes cats and dogs get old, and we want to cuddle something foreign. Sometimes we need to trade wet slobbery kisses and allergies for beaks and talons, baby. Lord knows how many folks read my cat blog and traded in their felines for fowl. Well again, I just want to make it absolutely clear that if you kiss your chicken you might die. In my opinion this is a preferable fate to owning a cat and living a life of involuntary celibacy, but to each their own. As the saying goes, it is better to have kissed my chicken and died from a stomach bug than owned a cat and never kissed at all.
