It depends what you mean by 'sick'. All reptiles carry salmonella bacteria. HOWEVER - simple hygiene after handling the Gecko will be sufficient to keep you safe. Although - if you're ill, I would recommend you not handle any reptiles until you're fit & healthy again. A weakened immune system will not be able to fight off salmonella bacteria as well as your existing illness.

If a leopard gecko is not taken care of properly they can get sick and become diagnosed with disease. This can lead to their death if not taken care of.
