Added to the Recall List: Millions of Frozen Mice
Let’s see, what will I thaw out for dinner tonight? Steak, chops, chicken, mice? Mice? Yes, apparently thousands of exotic pet owners keep mice frozen right there beside the other ‘people’ foods. Now they have to be extra careful about washing their hands due to a recall on frozen mice.
Take mice from freezer. Thaw (but not in the microwave, please). Feed to pet snakes.
And do not forget to wash your hands.
That is the message from public health officials in the wake of salmonella outbreaks that have sickened more than 400 people, many of them snake owners or their children, in the United States and Britain.
