Most people infected with Salmonella get better without treatment within 4-7 days. In rare cases, the infection spreads to the bloodstream and causes life-threatening complications — especially for young children, older adults, and people with vulnerable immune systems.

Symptoms of Salmonella infection include:

• Fever
• Diarrhea
• Abdominal cramps
• Headache
• Possible nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite

Norovirus Outbreak at Chipotle Restaurants in California

In August 2015, about 80 customers and 18 employees were infected with Norovirus at a Chipotle restaurant located in Simi Valley, California. According to a report (PDF) by the Ventura County Environmental Health Division:

“Norovirus is a very contagious virus. You can get norovirus from an infected person, contaminated food or water, or by touching contaminated surfaces. The virus causes your stomach or intestines or both to get inflamed (acute gastroenteritis). This leads to stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting.”
