Ducks, babies, and salmonella??

[Pollo Blanco]

I found this interesting link on salmonella in backyard flocks.

It doesn't specify ducks from chickens, or clarify the time frame for the 163 infections. But 163 isnt many considering percentages. Still, when one has a baby I understand that one doesn't want to be responsible for it happening to their baby and using an abundance of caution for the first years is a choice parents are entitled to make. With that choice there are consequences that follow - perhaps diminished immune systems from living inside a Clorox wiped environment, or even just a life less lived. But it sounds like the original poster is just changing her shirt.

Personally, I'm not careful around my ducks in regards to zoonotic diseases. That doesn't mean there isn't any risk. And I would probably toss my children in the dirt after a certain age. With love, of course - and a play shovel.

Area would be interesting too!

Terrain Theory, insofar as the individual is another, that I'm sure that you are aware of.

The Discovery Channel show was emphasizing that without the protien of the dressing, the bacteria on the cutting board was too small a quantity to impact a healthy person.

Unfortunately, people who believe that highly processed foods with chemical preservatives and artificial vitamins added constitutes perfect nutrition, are ignorant of how phytonutrients, and even the natural yeasts and microbes on fresh organic foods are essential to digestive health.

Just read a chapter in an organic gardening book that mentions even organic kale that is harvested, cooled to 38 degrees and shipped in total darkness will lose up to 40% of its B vitamins in five days.

So, how could two GMO grains that store for 18 months in a warehouse be 100% nutritionally complete for any living animal?

Conjecture or common knowledge?


A friend of mines, newborn daughter passed after being in close proximity to chickens. You can not take an example of a couple of people and apply it to the majority - listen to statistics rather than anecdotal accounts.
Statistics show immunocompromised people particularly the young, and old are most susceptible to salmonella infections.
Taking the simple measure of practicing cleanliness around birds/raw poultry, can save you from a whole lot of trouble in the future.
I'm am done with this thread - only so much one can do for obstinacy.

Just go back to your diet of one single box of cereal for breakfast lunch and dinner for the rest of your life, it's completely healthy.

'Common knowledge' is typically a value judgment supported by collectivism, and I realize that it is more than good enough for you.
