Apparently, handling penguins (the flightless waterfowl, specifically the Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae), not the caffeinated peppermints) can give you salmonella.
So go wash those penguin-y hands!
NB: do you have any idea how hard it is to spell caffeine without having any first? Sigh.
Are chickens any better?
ReplyDeleteChickens are probably much worse, but Adelie penguins aren't usually bred in mass factories that concentrate the bacteria and make its spread inevitable.
