Some people think that turtles are spiritual things, and even have super powers such as good luck, longevity and evil spirits, so many people keep them at home. But some turtles carry Salmonella, which may be harmful to people, especially those with weak immune system. Therefore, it is suggested to wash hands and disinfect in time after contacting wild turtles to avoid infection.
Generally speaking, turtles raised at home are usually non-toxic, but may carry salmonella. Therefore, it is very important to raise and contact turtles correctly.
