Best Answer

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.
