Salmonella

This is probably ridiculous, my bearded dragon was bathed this morning for 10 minutes for reference. But this evening we were playing, and he jumped on my face and scratched my lip and made it bleed with his nail. Does this mean I’m going to get salmonella I’m not sure how it works

There's always a slight chance but as long a you washed your lip with soapy water it should be fine. A scratch from any animal can cause infection but it's not that common. If your lip starts to swell you should go to an urgi care and get some antibiotics.

As a side point, soaking a beardie doesn't do anything to keep them germ free anymore than if we worked with some contaminated substance and then just sat in some water and expected to be clean. It's soap + disinfectants that get rid of germs, not plain water. Many animals and most reptiles carry salmonella but it's not common for humans to be infected with it but it's still good to take precautions.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
