Salmonella

Salmonella infection is usually ingested from food derived from infected animals, but it can also occur by ingesting the feces of an infected animal or person.

Food sources include raw or undercooked eggs/egg products, raw milk or raw milk products, contaminated water, meat and meat products, and poultry. Raw fruits and vegetables contaminated during slicing have been implicated in several foodborne outbreaks.

The side effects of salmonella poisoning, which usually show up six to 48 hours after eating the infected food, include diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, nausea, and vomiting.

The most important ways to prevent Salmonella poisoning are proper hygiene and proper cooking.
