Salmonella is a type of bacteria that can cause an infection called salmonellosis. It is commonly found in contaminated food or water, particularly in raw or undercooked meat, poultry, eggs, and sometimes fruits and vegetables. People infected with salmonella typically experience symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps and vomiting, usually within six hours to six days after exposure. 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. Most healthy people recover without treatment, but severe cases can occur, especially in young children, elderly people and those with weakened immune systems. In such cases, hospitalization and antibiotics may be required. Preventing salmonella infection involves proper food handling, cooking and hygiene practices. Here are food safety guidelines from the CDC to follow: Wash your hands, utensils, and surfaces often. Keep food that won't be cooked separate from raw meat, poultry and seafood. Use a food thermometer to make sure you have cooked your food to a temperature high enough to kill germs. Refrigerate perishable food (food that goes bad) within two hours. If the food is exposed to temperatures above 90° (such as in a hot car or at a picnic), refrigerate it within one hour. Thaw food in the refrigerator, not on the counter. -USA TODAY Network reporter Gabe Hauari contributed to this report.
