[Damion930]

Well I just wanted to share with you all my experience with salmmonilla. As some of you may know my gf and I just had a baby girl. Five days ago while I was at work I got a call from my babys mother somthing wasn't right she was refusing to eat and fussy not to alarming but she called the dr anyway and they set up an appointment. An hr later she had a 102 temp was rushed to the hospital and then taken by air life to an advanced nato icu. She was put on a cocktail of antibiotics and antiviral meds do to suspicion of a mass infection. After many blood tests and a spinal it was concluded she had meningitis the bacteria or virus still unknow. Cultures wher prepared and we waited to discover what had caused our baby to become so it after 2 days we wher informed her blood and meningys spinal fluid and cerebral fluid had become septic with salmmonilla. First off we wash before we handle her and use antiseptic. We also was before and after handeling any of my snakes. My tanks are clean spot cleaned daily wiped down and gone over bi weekly and a complete clean monthly water bowls are cleaned daily or every other day. I am carfull. If she got this from the snakes we will never know. Do to theis events and reluctant to me for the sake of my family and because we will have our hands full while treatment continues for atleast 21 days I have rehomed my snakes wher I know they will
be cared for. It breakes my heart but I am at a loss and am very worn down from the events that have taken place I belive its for the best
