A large percentage of the reptiles in zoos, etc., carry it for some reason. It is dangerous to people and I would imagine (though I don't know for certain) to ferrets too, since it's a bacteria that causes icky food poisoning-like gastrointestinal symptoms... If you touched the iguana and then the ferret kissed your hand, for example, you could easily transmit it. -Tasha http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Bluffs/5698/ [Posted in FML issue 2433]
