The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned on July 21 that the latest salmonella outbreak across the United States is linked to turtles.

“Many people in this outbreak purchased small turtles online before getting sick,” the CDC said in an announcement on its website. “Do not buy small turtles with shells less than 4 inches long.”
