"HENRY, Dammit - stop kissing that chicken"





The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has told you before and it’s telling you again ― kissing chickens can lead to contracting salmonella.

The CDC reported in a study released Wednesday that the increased popularity of backyard poultry flocks has coincided with an uptick in salmonella outbreaks associated with live poultry. To figure out the causes of live-poultry associated salmonella, or LPAS, the CDC looked at cases that occurred between 1990 and 2014 and found that some people affected were engaging in risky behaviors ― including cuddling, kissing and, in some cases, letting their chickens roam in their bedrooms and bathrooms.
