Salmonella infection
Anyone who develops symptoms of Salmonella infection after eating cookie dough should see a doctor. Special tests are required to diagnose Salmonella infection, so sick people should tell their doctor that they may have been exposed to Salmonella. Symptoms of Salmonella infection can resemble other illnesses, often leading to misdiagnosis.
Symptoms of Salmonella infection include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever that appear within 12 to 72 hours of consuming contaminated food. Otherwise healthy adults usually become ill for four to seven days, although in some cases the diarrhea can become so severe that hospitalization is required.
Elderly people, children, pregnant women, cancer patients and others with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop severe illness and serious, sometimes life-threatening symptoms.
Some people may be infected but not get sick or develop symptoms, but they can still spread the infection to others.
