About salmonella
Food contaminated with Salmonella usually does not change in appearance, smell, or taste. Anyone can get a salmonella infection. According to the CDC, infants, children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of developing severe illness because their immune systems are weaker.
Symptoms of salmonella infection may include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever within 12 to 72 hours of eating contaminated food. Otherwise healthy adults are usually sick for 4 to 7 days. However, in some cases, diarrhea can become very severe and require hospitalization.
People with weakened immune systems, such as the elderly, children, pregnant women, and cancer patients, are more likely to develop serious and sometimes life-threatening conditions.
Some people who are infected do not get sick and do not show any symptoms. However, you can still spread the infection to others.
