Gee, I wonder if getting salmonella is "so easy a caveman could do it"?
Had to go there......
A tiny gecko trapped inside a chicken egg may hold the key to solving how the potentially deadly salmonella bacteria causes food poisoning..
Dr Beaumont was making Thai fishcakes using eggs bought from a Darwin supermarket when he discovered the dead lizard inside an egg shell.
It has to be that the gecko climbed up inside the chook and died up there while the egg was being formed before the shell was put on it.".
Dr Beaumont said the lizard may have crawled into the chicken to feed on an embryo and then the egg formed around it.
I dont know what to say.Ive never thought about lizards climbing into chooks bums before..am I the only one who has never considered this possibility
Another Chookie story for you Filly:blowkiss:.

I have to admit that I don't know how chicken reproductive organs work. However, I saw a clip (perhaps on America's funniest home videos) of a chicken that ate what it thought was an egg. It was actually a golf ball. That chicken laid an "egg" that was the golf ball surrounded by the shell. It was really remarkable.
