Actually during seasonal changes there can be a colour change or spots appearing on turtles. I hope it may be a freshwater turtle. First make sure that it is a an infection. If so it may be bacterial or fungal. If the warty skin is turning to lesion/ or a fine tuft of hairy structures/ ooze from these/ loss of appetite/ lethargic/ or any disease symptom is there then we  can  confirm it is an infection. Unlike the land reptiles turtles have soft covering on its body. It can be considered equivalent to fishes. So the same treatment is applicable. Washing with potassium permanganate water, malachite green or metheline blue bath treatment or dip treatment is also effective. Tetracycline compounds 250 mg. one tablet in 20 l of water keep the animal for 1hr is also found effective. Above all hygiene is the most essential thing. Clean the tank and disinfect the tank in all the possible ways. Refill water with little potassium permanganate 2-3 crystals only. Your turtle will b alright.

They can have salmonella. My husband's brother caught it when he was little from a box turtle and almost died.\n\nWash your hands with soap and warm water thoroughly.\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/healthypets/animals/reptiles.htm\nhttp://www.idsociety.org/Template.cfm?Section=Home&CONTENTID=13133&TEMPLATE=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm\nhttp://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=17&cat=1796&articleid=623\n\nI do understand and support you not wanting your daughter to be afraid of the cool stuff in the yard or the outdoors in general. As a former tomboy (heck, what do I mean "former"), I had much joy catching and playing with frogs, bees, praying mantises, etc. Maybe you can carry some of that hand sanitizer (like Purell) in your jean's pocket? I keep some in my purse at all times. You just never know!

Hi Jay\n\nHere are a few remedies.\n\nNatural Cures\n\nFlower Essences: Rescue Remedy Cream® applied topically, and Crab Apple added to pure filtered water can speed healing. \n\nHerbs: Apply a poultice of equal parts of witch hazel, mugwort, white oak bark, and plantain to affected areas. \n\nHydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. \n*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy treatment. Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water offers clear instructions and recommendations.\n\nNutritional Supplementation: At the first sign of outbreak take the following nutrients to minimize symptoms: vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc. Zinc oxide can also be applied topically.\n\nTopical Treatment: Rinse affected area with apple cider vinegar, and in the evening take a warm bath with apple cider vinegar or cornstarch. Aloe vera gel, witch hazel, baking soda paste, or a paste of activated charcoal powder are also good topical treatments.\n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers

Get some WD40 and spray em down if they are squeeking or or not moving so well.  Get em moving again and work out the gunk with a rag.

there is no cure, you just have to let it pass from your body, salmonella is a bacteria, sorry it sucks but there is nothing you can do for it but wait it out and maybe take some pepto bismol :) hope you feel better

What do you want to treat it for? Do you wnat to soften it? Remove salt? Sterilise it? Remove pesticides? Remove colloids?\n\nNothing short of an activated charcoal filter or distillation will do al those things

You don't. It has to run its course. It's a virus, so no medications will really work to "cure" it. Maybe they'll someday invent something to kill viruses, but for now, you have to put up with it and try not to get sick in the first place. (I hope you feel better soon!)

Something that has always helped me was taking chewable vitamin C tablets (2 of them) a day.  It really makes the sickness go away:-)  Vitamin C boosts the immune system.  If you cant get the tablets, drink a lot of orange/grapefruit juice.  Or eat a bunch of oranges, spinach, or other citrus fruits.

Put some ice on it.  That will help soothe it.  If the skin is damaged try some Neosporin.
