No. Some of them do, some of them don't. And salmonella is much more common with Do_all_red_eared_sliders_have_salmonellathan with adults. Just to be safe, you should always wash your hands after touching them. You should also wash your hands before touching them, because turtles can get sick from germs that humans carry.
Almost all wild turtles have salmonella. However, that doesn't mean that a human will definitely get it from a turtle that carries the bacteria. In fact, humans have natural E. coli (the bacteria that causes salmonella) in our intestines. Washing your hands before and after handling the turtle, and being careful not to let small children put turtles in their mouths will go a long way in preventing salmonella.
It's illegal because turtles can carry dangerous and fatal deceases like Salmonella.
To get rid of salmonella on a turtle, ensure proper hygiene practices such as washing hands before and after handling the turtle, cleaning the turtle's enclosure regularly, and feeding them proper diet to keep them healthy. Consult a veterinarian for specific advice and treatment options if you suspect your turtle has salmonella.
Some are. But most aren't. I have a bog turtle as a pet and it's completely harmless. The only thing I've seen it bite is it's food! this is to the owner of the bog turtle "just because yours doesn't bite doesn't mean that it is not poisonous!" sincerely jochechan (P.S.I go looking for stuff like this.)

salmonella can kill u. many animals can carry it i had turtles and my mom warned me about it.
Snakes, lizards, iguanas and turtles can all pass salmonella on to you, which is why you should always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling them. Chicken eggs too!
Bacteria of genus Salmonella are normal mutualistic symbionts in the intestine of turtles; however you can see it with a fecal colture.
