What are the symptoms of salmonella infection?
Salmonella is an organism that can "cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems," according to the FDA.
Healthy people infected with salmonella usually experience several symptoms, such as fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, the federal agency said. In rare cases, salmonella can get into the bloodstream and produce more severe illnesses like arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
