Salmonella Food Poisoning Symptoms
Salmonella food poisoning symptoms may include diarrhea (sometimes bloody), abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, headache, muscle pain, and joint pain. The symptoms usually appear within 6 to 72 hours after consuming a Salmonella contaminated food.
Although most people recover within 4-7 days, the elderly, infants and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to suffer the severe effects of Salmonella food poisoning
Diagnosis of Salmonella Food Poisoning
If you suspect that you have contracted Salmonella, or are experiencing food poisoning symptoms, contact your healthcare professional. He or she can order a stool culture to confirm Salmonella food poisoning. Let your doctor know if you have consumed a product known to be contaminated with Salmonella.
