are not poisonous. People often say that the harm of Brazilian tortoises is the salmonella they carry. This bacterium is a very common food-borne pathogen, not only in animals, but also in people. But the Brazilian tortoise carries a large number of young tortoises, which are very easy to infect people with low immunity, so people often say that the Brazilian tortoise is poisonous, but in fact it is not poisonous, just a bacterium.
Although Brazilian tortoises carry Salmonella, this does not affect home rearing, as long as they wash their hands with disinfectant or soap after contact with Brazilian tortoises, they will generally not be infected. However, it should be noted that pregnant women and children should not be allowed to contact as far as possible, because the resistance of these two groups is relatively low, and infection will have a great impact on health.
should we pay attention to when raising Brazilian tortoises? Although Brazilian tortoises carry salmonella, the number of salmonella carried by adults will be greatly reduced. Therefore, in the process of raising Brazilian tortoises, we need to wash our hands frequently and try to avoid touching Brazilian tortoises with our limbs. Also pay attention not to release, because the Brazilian tortoise has a strong destructive power to the ecological environment, if released in the natural environment, it will rob the local tortoise resources, causing a great impact on the local ecology.
