Interesting Encounter. Any comments?

I was looking at recent news, and saw this:
Stop Kissing and Snuggling Chickens, C.D.C. Says After Salmonella Outbreak

It's fairly recent. It was interesting to me.

Any comments?

I know right!
I must have salmonella by now

I don't kiss my poultry, but there's nothing wrong with hugging and holding if you're smart about it.

Kids touch birds and then stick their fingers in their mouth, which is what causes illness.

I’d say almost everyone on this site should have it by now if that article is true! Lol

Even if we got Salmonella, we're fine
"Typically, people with salmonella infection have no symptoms. Others develop diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps within eight to 72 hours. Most healthy people recover within a few days without specific treatment."
