Salmonella symptoms to watch For
Salmonella is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the intestinal tract.
Symptoms typically manifest between 6 hours and 6 days after consuming contaminated food.
Most people experience mild to moderate symptoms that last four to seven days, including:
Diarrhea (which can occasionally be bloody)
Fever and chills
Abdominal cramps and stomach pain
Nausea and vomiting
Headaches and muscle aches
While most healthy individuals recover without specific medical treatment, Salmonella infection can pose severe health risks to high-risk groups, including young children, the elderly, pregnant individuals, and those with weakened immune systems.
Anyone experiencing severe symptoms—such as a high fever, persistent vomiting, or signs of dehydration—should seek medical attention immediately.
