Obviously I am not looking for medical advice, but does this sound right? - We have 2 water turtles (which I am getting rid of!) and I cleaned their tank without realizing I had a nice sized cut on my hand. I grated myself by accident while grating cheese, so its a good size cut. It got all itchy and red but then within a week seemed to scab up fine. This was last week. Then on Monday, I was throwing up, had chills, fever, felt weak and had a little bit of diarrhea. That lasted all day Monday. Tuesday I was fine, didn't eat much, Wednesday I ate a good amount and Wednesday night I had the same symptoms, minus throwing up, but went to sleep and woke up just feeling weak. Today is Thursday, and my stomach turns every time I eat. I feel a little dizzy and lightheaded. Â When I lay down, I feel so nauseous. Now, I read the symptoms of salmonella, and they seem to match. Could I really have gotten it? I'm just dreading taking my boys to the doctors. Does anyone know how they test for that? Do I go to the urgent care and say, "I think I have salmonella."Â 
 I feel like a paranoid pregnant woman.Â
