I happen to play with leo few minutes back. I don't know what has happened to him, it was close to my face. It bit my nose heavily. There was 3 teeth scar on my nose. Do i have to take a tetnus injection for that? Is it dangerous when got bitten by a turtle??

Do you mean actual scar, or an impression on the skin. (They have no teeth, btw). If the skin's been broken, just clean it well and put some antibiotic ointment on it (and don't put your RES so close to your face---he probably thought your nose was a nice big morsel of food).
