Symptoms and treatment of salmonellosis
Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the frail and elderly, and people with weakened immune systems, according to the FDA. Signs of salmonella poisoning include:
- Diarrhea that is bloody or that persists for more than 3 days without improvement
- Diarrhea and fever greater than 102 degrees Fahrenheit
- Excessive vomiting, especially if you can’t keep fluids down
- Signs of dehydration, such as dry mouth and throat, less frequent peeing, and dizziness when standing up
- stomach cramps
These symptoms most commonly occur between 6 hours and 6 days after exposure. Most people recover in four to seven days, but people with weakened immune systems, such as children under 5 and adults over 65, can experience more severe symptoms that require treatment and hospitalization.
