Salmonella is the same genus of bacteria that causes typhoid fever. Not all chickens have salmonella and some will show signs like lethargy if they do have it. Don't go licking a bunch of chickens or eating raw eggs or poultry. The name salmonella was derived from one Dr. Edgar Elmer Salmon, a veterinary surgeon for whom it was named.
This encore includes tons of previously cut and never-before-heard bonus material (and maybe an eggregious number of sidenotes) about how perfect and weird eggs are. The biggest eggs! The smallest eggs! The people arrested for stealing the most eggs! Oologist Dr. John Bates gives Alie a tour of the egg vault at the Field Museum of Chicago and it was a barrage of beautiful sights and shocking facts about bird butts. Get ready for speckly eggs, falcon tales, delicate treasures, snake nesting, pigeon mysteries, modern research with old artifacts, Easter trivia, and whether or not you can hatch chickens from grocery store eggs. Also the carnival ride Alie will never ever ever go on.
