Turtles may carry salmonella but if you wash your hands after having any contact w/ the turtle and its water you should be okay...consider purchasing chemical free gloves to wear when you are changing turtle water...then you can disinfect the gloves w/ hot water... also don't dump turtle water in your kitchen or bathroom sink dump turtle water outside on your yard so that way your recycling.

:I have been around my res lately working on a new tank setup in the past few days, and had contact with her for a couple days straight, and suddenly I feel sick in the stomach area. I hope it has nothing to do with my res. How can I tell if my turt may be causing an illness? Thanks!
