i duno what was on my turkey but there were tons of little tiny white things like fleas almost...they were crawling from the turkey onto me....i think it might have been lice...birds carry lice...my dad said it was lice and that it wont give me head lice because they are feather lice.....i was worried i got lice..i was itchy for days and as soon as the bird was cleaned i was scrubbing my body for a long hot shower...for days i took many showers and was always itchy(i think it was all in my head but still!! lol) i dont know waht they were but i dont think they bit me...just scarred me lol
