Symptoms of salmonella poisoning typically include diarrhea and fever, but the bacteria can be deadly.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, at least 26 people in 11 states have gotten sick and at least nine have been hospitalized in recent months from small pet turtles.
"The true number of sick people in an outbreak is likely much higher than the number reported, and this outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses," the CDC said in a press release."This is because many people recover without medical care and are not tested for Salmonella. In addition, recent illnesses may not yet be reported, as it usually takes 3 to 4 weeks to determine if a sick person is part of an outbreak.
