Salmonella bacteria is most commonly contracted by ingesting contaminated food or water, which can cause serious infections that are potentially deadly for people with lowered immune systems, including children and older adults. According to the CDC, Salmonella symptoms typically present as diarrhea which can be bloody, fever, and stomach cramps, though some also experience nausea, headaches, and vomiting. After ingesting Salmonella bacteria, symptoms predominantly begin within 6 hours to 6 days and subside within 4 to 7 days. Salmonella infections customarily do not require treatment, however, antibiotics can be given for severe cases. People with lowered immune systems, infants, and adults 65 and older should contact their healthcare provider immediately if they suspect they are suffering from a Salmonella infection to avoid further complications.
