How Do You Know if You Have Salmonella Poisoning?
Salmonella is a genus of bacteria that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in vulnerable groups. The risk is highest for the very young and very old, and those with weakened immune systems.
In healthy individuals, salmonella infection usually causes symptoms that can start anywhere from six hours to six days after eating contaminated food.
Symptoms include:
Fever
Headache
Diarrhea (which may be bloody)
Stomach cramps
Nausea and vomiting
Symptoms usually last four to seven days. Dehydration is the biggest concern, so staying hydrated while you recover is important.
In severe cases, the infection may spread from the intestines to the blood, and could lead to life-threatening complications if not treated promptly.
Most cases of salmonella poisoning get better on their own, but if you have a weakened immune system, or if your symptoms are severe, you should seek medical care.
