Easter Presents Come With Health Warnings

Live chicks, ducks, and rabbits which are popular Easter gifts for children, may be a bad idea.

Children can be exposed to salmonella by simply holding, cuddling or kissing the birds.

Rabbits are high-stress animals with complicated diet and care requirements.

In addition, adult animals are often abandoned.

Experts recommend giving stuffed animals instead, but in the case of exposure to animals, to wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
