The most common diseases passed on from crocodiles to humans are salmonella and botulism. Salmonella is passed from the reptile to human when something contaminated with reptile faeces is placed in the mouth. is a serious and life-threatening illness caused by a toxin released by the Clostridium bacterium that causes paralysis and death. It is very uncommon in older children and adults, but care should be taken when handling reptiles around infants.
