You know the Karen’s have a problem with everything who cares if they eat plants

[@carmenfalcon5239]

The bacteria for Salmonella can be found in the mouths and feces of iguanas and can cause severe infections. Therefore, it is essential to rinse the wound vigorously, wash it with hot, soapy water, and then seek medical attention when iguanas bite. Thick leather gloves should be worn if handling an iguana is absolutely necessary, but the safest choice when these pests are lurking around the home is to contact the wildlife experts at Critter Control.

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

That is a very ignorant comment. Many people spend their life savings and plan their life around moving to Florida solely because of the climate and being able to grow beautiful tropical plants you can only grow there in the USA. Plants that are not only very expensive to buy but can also take years or even a decade or more to grow and then start flowering or fruiting. Plants that produce very beautiful flowers, or very special fragrant flowers, or fruits people worked and wanted to enjoy into their retirement till their last days. I find your comment absolutely absurd.
