Salmonella infection is usually caused by eating raw or undercooked meat, poultry, eggs or egg products. The incubation period ranges from several hours to two days. Most salmonella infections can be classified as gastroenteritis. Possible signs and symptoms include Nausea, Vomiting, Abdominal pain, Diarrhea, Fever, Chills, Headache, Muscle pains, Blood in the stool.

Signs and symptoms of salmonella infection generally last four to seven days, although it may take several months for your bowels to return to normal. A few varieties of salmonella bacteria result in typhoid fever, a sometimes deadly disease that is more common in developing countries.

Yes it is. Salmonella cause illnesses in humans and many animals, such as typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, and the foodborne illness salomellosis. Other than that, it is fine.

Every time you eat food, there is a risk of contracting Salmonella or any other foodborne or waterborne disease. You reduce that risk by having clean water and food sources, washing your hands, using clean and sanitary equipment and utensils, washing the food in potable water and/or cooking it to the appropriate temperature and avoiding contamination.
