there are so many diseases carried by turtles, birds and reptiles as well...Salmonella is one of the most common diseases transmitted to humans. NOT a good thing...nausea and vomiting along with severe diarrhea are signs of it...call a doctor or go to ER immediately. Basic rules of handling any animal is to wash hands immediately after....whilst washing with soap say the alphabet at least twice before you are done...this should ensure all bacteria has been removed or non threatening...use lots of soap it's cheaper than Dr. bills! Enjoy your pets!

Only if you keep licking it!
Just be sure to wash your hands after handling it, and you should be fine. "Handling" also includes just touching the shell. If you get bitten, be sure to clean the wound COMPLETELY! Anti-bacterial soap, warm water, betadine if you have it.
