What is Salmonella, and What Are The Symptoms?

Salmonella is a bacterial disease that affects the intestinal tract. Salmonella bacteria typically live in animal and human intestines and are shed through feces. Humans become infected with Salmonella through contaminated food or water.

Some people with Salmonella infections have no symptoms, but most people will experience diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramping 8-72 hours after exposure. Symptoms include:

• Diarrhea
• Stomach cramps
• Fever
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Chills
• Headahce
• Blood in feces

Salmonella symptoms generally last several days to one week. Diarrhea may last up to 10 days. In some cases, diarrhea can cause severe dehydration requiring medical attention. Life-threatening complications may also develop if the infection spreads beyond the intestines.

Causes of Salmonella Food Poisoning

Salmonella bacteria live in the intestines of humans and animals. Most people who develop Salmonella have consumed contaminated water or food, which includes:

• Raw meat, poultry, and seafood. Contamination may happen during the butchering process, or seafood may be harvested from contaminated water.
• Raw or undercooked eggs. Contamination may happen when an infected chicken is producing eggs, or raw eggs are used in certain recipes like hollandaise.
• Unpasteurized dairy products, such as raw milk.
• Fruits and vegetables. Some fresh produce may be irrigated in a field or washed with contaminated water.
• Improperly handled food, like when someone does not wash their hands thoroughly after using the bathroom or changing a diaper.

Salmonella Prevention

There are several ways to prevent Salmonella contamination, such as:

• Wash your hands thoroughly after using the bathroom, changing a diaper, or preparing food.
• Store items separately in your fridge, and keep meats away from other foods.
• Wash food preparation surfaces thoroughly with soap and water.
• Avoid raw eggs and raw dairy products.
• Cook and store food properly.
