That's only if your turtle is infected with salmonella, and this guy isn't. If you keep them in a clean tank with proper filtration, you won't have any issues. I have kept them for 20+ years and never got salmonella. Other reptiles such as lizards also can carry this. It's common with many things. Bottom line is wash your hands and take good care of your pets and you won't have issues
