Pet Turtles Can Cause Salmonella Infections

Public health officials urge people — and particularly families — to exercise caution when handling or caring for pet reptiles, such as turtles, lizards and snakes. Recently a four-week-old infant in Florida died from salmonellosis, a bacterial infection often associated with outbreaks of foodborne illness.

However, the bacteria can make people sick. Salmonella infections usually cause gastroenteritis, but can cause more severe invasive disease such as bloodstream infection or meningitis.
