Clipped verbatim from this morning's Rochester Demagogue & Comical:

As her 4-month-old son recovered from a salmonella infection contracted in October and her fears eased, Virginia Ortiz grew puzzled over how he got sick in the first place.

She said that health officials asked whether there were any animals where she was living, which was with her aunt in Greece. "I was saying, 'We do have water frogs.'"

It was the a-ha moment.

An investigation recently completed by Monroe County and state Health Department officials determined the frogs, which include African dwarf frogs, were the cause. The baby, Willie Nelson II, had somehow been exposed to the bacteria, which can be found in the frogs and their water and has caused illness across the country.

Yes, Virginia, I think that baby's going to have bigger problems than salmonella if you don't change that name and fast.
