We Have Frogs (and Salmonella!)

The tadpoles Will has been raising have turned into frogs!  Four out of thirteen survived to "froghood."  Not great odds, but I'm trying to tell myself that they wouldn't have had a much better chance in the pond!  Will was of course anxious to play with the new frogs so I let him hold one this past Friday.  The little frog was scared to death so I set him on Will's hand just long enough to snap a picture - and apparently long enough to contaminate Will with Salmonella!  He was sick by Sunday afternoon and has just recovered today.  The lab results came back showing Salmonella, which undoubtedly came from the frogs since we have all eaten the same foods and Jerry and I aren't sick.  Lesson learned:  Wash hands!! - Even though every kid in the world plays with frogs mine will be the one to catch Salmonella!!

He is just too cute to be carrying such a horrible bacteria.

play with a bacteria infested frog!
