It's good news. It's not right to have such a big ban on Reptiles! And those who do already have them, can breathe a sigh of relief now.
The 'infection risk'... huh! Reptiles have a reputation for transmitting Salmonella. Quite honestly I wonder how true that is. But oh my gosh, don't humans have a worse reputation for transmitting all KINDS of diseases? Statistically one is far more likely to get ill from associating with a human than with a dog, cat, any other animal, or a Reptile! Cooking, kichen and food preparation habits can easily transmit salmonella anyway.
Any infection risk is out of proportion to hard facts. A Reptile isn't going to give anyone a cold, flu, the Measles, or Norovirus. And that's just for starters.
It's always wise to wash hands before preparing food for example, after touching any animal, reptile or bird, or even going to buy grocery shopping, doing gardening, or shaking hands with a person! Anyone who doesn't do that has no right to blame anything they touched.
