Yes, most lizards bite. Some lizards squirt blood through their naked eye, whilst other lizards wave their tail to scare predators away. Most lizards can bite as a weapon for self defense.

What is Salmonella? Salmonella is a rod-shaped bacterium that can cause diarrhea and other illnesses, including salmonellosis. Salmonellosis is an infection that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), causes more than 500 deaths per year in the United States. The Salmonella family includes over 2,300 types of bacteria. Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium are the most common types in the U.S. and account for half of all human infections. When Salmonella is present in food, it cannot usually be detected by smell, taste or appearance.
