Sea turtles in general are a tourist attraction, with people from all over the country (and the world) coming here to swim with them or even just catch a glimpse of \u2013 one of the five sea turtles that call the Aloha State their home.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-cant-turtles-be-touched-hawaii\"><\/span>Why can&#39;t turtles be touched Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is illegal to touch or harass sea turtles as they are all protected by the Endangered Species Act.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-if-a-sea-turtle-touches-you\"><\/span>What if a sea turtle touches you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Not only does touching turtles cause them stress, but the bacteria on your hands can actually be harmful to turtles. Not to mention, it&#39;s illegal to touch or harass a sea turtle in a lot of places!Jan 21, 2018<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-turtles-sacred-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Why are turtles sacred in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To the Hawaiian people, sea turtles or \u201cHonu,\u201d are sacred creatures. They embody good luck, protection, endurance and long life.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-sea-turtles-friendly\"><\/span>Are sea turtles friendly?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>5. Sea turtles are not aggressive unless they are in danger. However, becoming too close to them increases the risk of getting a painful bite.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-pet-a-turtle-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Can you pet a turtle in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We have been writing about them since Beat of Hawaii began in 2008. Observation guidelines: Turtles are generally not afraid of people. They are, however, protected by law, and it&#39;s illegal to touch them as was done here. Do not chase or scare turtles, hinder their movement, or swim within 20 feet.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-you-shouldnt-touch-a-sea-turtle\"><\/span>Why you shouldn&#39;t touch a sea turtle?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Many animals, including turtles, rays and many species of sharks, can become vulnerable to harmful bacteria through human contact, leaving them susceptible to disease. These creatures rely on bio-films (a kind of protective slime) to keep out infection, which we can compromise through touch.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-touching-a-sea-turtle-a-felony\"><\/span>Is touching a sea turtle a felony?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>All species of sea turtles in U<br \/> waters are listed as either threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This listing means that the animals are protected under federal law, and actions that may harass, harm, pursue, capture, injure, or kill may be punishable through fines or jail time.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-should-you-not-touch-turtles\"><\/span>Why should you not touch turtles?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The most common germ spread from turtles is called Salmonella. People can get Salmonella by coming in contact with turtles or their habitats. Small turtles are especially a problem because kids are more likely to put these animals in their mouths, kiss them, and not wash their hands after handling them.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-turtles-bite\"><\/span>Do turtles bite?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Though their shells provide very effective protection, most turtles will bite to protect themselves if necessary. This is especially prevalent among wild turtles, but pet turtles may bite as well. While this is a relatively minor concern for owners of small turtles, bites from large turtles can cause severe damage.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-turtles-pee-brain-damage\"><\/span>Can turtles pee brain damage?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&#34;Turtle urine causes brain damage in humans when it comes in contact with your skin.&#34; While this is medically incorrect, it would make sense in my case and explain an awful lot. &#34;A turtle will only grow to the size of its enclosure.&#34; As you will learn further on as you explore ATP, you&#39;ll learn why this is false.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-do-you-know-if-a-turtle-has-salmonella\"><\/span>How do you know if a turtle has Salmonella?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Be aware that Salmonella infection can be caused by contact with reptiles or amphibians in petting zoos, parks, child-care facilities, or other locations. Watch for symptoms of Salmonella infection, such as diarrhea, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and headache.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-i-get-sick-from-touching-a-turtle\"><\/span>Can I get sick from touching a turtle?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Turtles can carry Salmonella germs in their droppings, even while looking healthy and clean. These germs can easily spread to their bodies, tank water, and habitats. People can get sick after they touch a turtle or anything in their habitats.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-humans-get-worms-from-turtles\"><\/span>Can humans get worms from turtles?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Can humans get worms from tortoises? No, the types of worms that tortoises suffer from are not a risk to people, but you should obviously wash your hands thoroughly when cleaning out, handling or feeding your tortoise. Disposable gloves are a good idea when cleaning your tortoise&#39;s housing, on grounds of good hygiene.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-get-rid-of-salmonella-on-turtle\"><\/span>Can you get rid of Salmonella on turtle?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Salmonella and Pet Turtles Most turtles carry salmonella bacteria and occasionally shed those bacteriain their feces. Salmonella can spread to people through direct or indirectcontact with a turtle or its feces. There are no methods guaranteed to rid turtles of salmonella, notes thatCDC.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-turtle-bite-poisonous\"><\/span>Is turtle bite poisonous?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Their bites are generally innocuous although painful. If they do break the skin, what you usually have to worry about is wound infection.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-easy-is-it-to-get-salmonella-from-a-turtle\"><\/span>How easy is it to get Salmonella from a turtle?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These germs can easily spread to their bodies, tank water, and anything in the area where they live and roam.
