Can you get sick from a bearded dragon bite?

Answer 1

yes. there is a possibility of getting a disease from almost any animal. This is why it's a good idea to wash your hands and to aviod touching your eyes or mouth after handling most animals. A disease that can be possily transmitted from a bearded dragon to a human is salminala. No this does not mean all beardies have salminala. But it could be a possibility if the animal is exposed to it (saminala is easily transmitted to reptiles including snakes, lizards, and turtles). So if your Beardie does happen to have it all you need to do is wash your hands after handling, which should be done regardless.

Answer 2

Washing your hands before and after handling your Bearded dragon will help keep you and your new pet healthy. If you wash your hands before handling you reduce the risk of passing anything on to your Dragon. Washing your hands after handling greatly reduce the risk of you contracting salmonella. The risks of getting this are very slim to begin with but hand washing will even further reduce the risks. Your chances of contracting salmonella from the food you eat are greater than your chances of getting it from your Bearded dragon so don't fret.
