Salmonella is a serious illness that can have potentially life threatening consequences. Some of the symptoms associated with Salmonella poisoning include stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and cramps, fevers, chills, muscle pain, general malaise or feeling as if you have the flu. In healthy individuals, Salmonella poisoning typically subsides within two weeks, however, it can have serious complications. Dehydration is one of the most prevalent concerns as those who have the illness can easily lose bodily fluids.

Additionally, those who have weakened immune systems, seniors, and infants can become extremely ill and find it difficult to fight the illness. It is imperative for all persons to be examined by their health care provider, should they suspect they have Salmonella poisoning.
