Why you should wash your hands after playing with turtles.

When I was a kid, my mother was constantly telling me to wash my hands before eating. Most of the time, I tried to get around it. Now that I'm older I wonder how I got this far. It turns out that many kids get Salmonella from playing with turtles. So many, in fact, that the CDC put out a report on it:
