http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm219200.htm Healthy ferrets are pretty resistant to salmonella usually so it is definitely NOT the worst form of food poisoning as far as most ferrets are concerned, BUT when they do get it it can incredibly hard to treat (which is one reason why even many of those people who choose to otherwise feed raw foods will go to high nutrition types of ferret kibbles for sick ferrets since ferrets whose health is compromised are more vulnerable to multiple types of food borne infections). People get salmonella more easily than healthy ferrets so take care for your own health, too, please.
