Sorry, but he is wrong. Salmonella bacteria are found in some raw foods and in feces (stool)

The bacteria can be found in foods such as raw chicken, turkey, beef, pork, other meat, eggs, and unpasteurized milk products. Infected people and animals, especially reptiles (like iguanas and turtles), ducks, and chickens can also have Salmonella in their feces. Infected people may spread the bacteria to others through their feces for several weeks or more, even after they feel better.

You can catch Salmonella infections if you:

Eat raw or undercooked foods such as meat, poultry, or eggs
Eat cooked food that came in contact with contaminated raw food
Eat food or drinks contaminated by an infected person
Are in close contact with a child or adult who has Salmonella
Come in contact with infected animals or their feces. It is something that is spread through the processing plants where the birds are actuall processes. If you did a lab culture, you would find it most likely on every chicken at the local grocery store.

Well, you could look up salmonella on the internet, you know.
