Well i depends if your allergic to the turtle or anything in it's tank. check with the doctor first to see what your allergic to then tell someone in your family to check if there's the thing that's making you being allergic to it in the turtle tank. If there is an allergic reaction to it then you must keep some distance between you. That way you don't have to get rid of the turtle
It could be, rub it on your other arm and see if the rash spreads.
I doubt it was the turtle, maybe you should check with the cleaning supplies you used.
Reptiles can carry samonella but I don't know if they cause rashes. The germs in the water could make a rash worse though. You can try cleaning it up and sticking some hydrocortisone cream on it. That will help clear it up. You may try calling your advice nurse about it though just in case to rule out samonella.
give the turtle a rash back!!!! I dont understand why people are afraid to fight animals.....
