Headline Scariness: 3

Turtles are apparently dripping with disease!

Actual Danger: 2

A turtle *could* be infected salmonella, which could be bad if your kid is found of popping the turtle in his mouth, or doesn’t wash his hands after playing with it. Turtle sellers are trying to disinfect them, but of course that could lead to a resistant strain of salmonella.

Wash your hands, kids!
