What is Salmonella?
The Salmonella bacteria can cause a severe, life-threatening illness known as “salmonellosis” when it is ingested in contaminated food or water.
Salmonellosis is one of the most common types of food poisoning in the United States. According to the CDC, there are 40,000 confirmed cases of salmonellosis every year. However, because many cases are never reported, there may actually be as many as 1.4 million salmonella food poisoning cases per year.
There are many different strains of Salmonella bacteria, and they like to grow in the intestines of humans and animals. If this contaminated fecal matter comes in contact with food, anyone who eats the food could accidentally ingest the salmonella bacteria.
What is the problem?
Salmonella food poisoning can be life-threatening. The risk is greatest for young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with a weak immune system (such as those who are already sick, or undergoing cancer treatment).
The CDC estimates that 8 out of 1000 cases are deadly, and approximately 600 people die of salmonella food poisoning every year.
The most common sources of salmonella food poisoning include raw or undercooked eggs, poultry, meat, raw seafood (sushi), raw milk products, or contaminated water. Sometimes, fruits and vegetables are contaminated by salmonella in the field where they are grown (cantaloupes are especially susceptible to salmonella because of their porous surface). Handling live chicks, ducklings, or poultry is also a common source of infection.
Complications
Healthy adults usually recover from salmonellosis within seven days, and rarely require hospitalization. In severe cases, however, salmonella food poisoning can be life-threatening. Severe complications include Reiter’s Syndrome (reactive arthritis), dehydration, blood infections, and gastrointestinal bleeding. A salmonella infection can also cause inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord (meningitis). This can cause seizures, severe injury, and death.
Symptoms
Symptoms of salmonella food poisoning typically begin within 12 to 72 hours after ingesting the bacteria, and may include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea (which may be bloody or watery)
- Fever
- Chills
- Headache
- Muscle cramps
- Blood in the stools
- Reiter’s syndrome (reactive arthritis)
- Severe infection
