Salmonella bacteria cause a human disease called salmonellosis. Reptiles, including turtles, transmit an estimated 74,000 cases of salmonellosis to people in the United States annually. Amphibians, including frogs, toads, newts, and salamanders, can also transmit salmonellosis.
They carry other contagions, as well, but salmonella is the most common one. These illnesses are called zoonoses and are found in many species. Turtles can still make great pets if you know what you're getting into. Simple hygiene with regular soap and hot water can keep you and your kids from getting sick from this.
