What is Salmonellosis?

Salmonella is a rod-shaped bacteria that can live in a variety of conditions, including in water, soil, raw meats, raw poultry, eggs, animal feces, insects, and raw seafood. Once the bacteria is ingested by a human host, within 6-48 hours Salmonella will pass through the stomach to the intestine where it causes inflammation and produces toxins. The resulting condition often includes nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, Diarrhea , and fever. The symptoms usually last 5-7 days. Salmonellosis often subsides on its own.
