Salmonellosis

Unless they have already received the bacteria, no.

Salmonella does not produce a toxin it invades the body though. Botulism does produce a toxin which can effect the nerves.

Edit: Salmonella species are capable of producing a toxin, similar in structure and biological activity to the cholera toxin. Please don't post an answer unless you know it to be correct.

one.

There could be more than one reason, but summer is warmer and more conducive to bacterial growth. It is also a time when people are more active outdoors and tend to eat at picnics. Temperature-abused food will grow more Salmonella. The exposure to the out-of-doors could cause more contamination of food. People being active outside don't always wash their hands and that could be a source of contamination.

A study in Georgia found that the ground water contains more Salmonella during the summer - no surprise there.

yes the higher tempetrue will kill the bacteria (new answerer) and if the chicken is too uncooked, the salmonella reproduces and stays in the chicken

You can differentiate between different salmonella strains using serology. Each strain has its own combination of antigens. Depending on the O, H, and vi antigens, you can determine which strain is present. The O-antigen is the somatic polysaccharide antigen, the H-antigen is the flagellar antigen and the vi-antigen is the capsular antigen. Antibodies to most of the variants of these antigens are available commercially for use in labs. Adding an aliquot of specific antisera to a suspension of your salmonella spp, and incubating it for a few hours in a water bath will result in visible agglutination if your salmonella strain possesses the specific antigen to the antibody you added. For example, Salmonella typhi will show agglutination with O [9,12], H [d] and vi.

When consumed by humans it causes gastroenteritis. AKA food poisoning. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It is usually self limiting, but can lead to serious electrolyte imbalances if prolonged, and sometimes death in people whom are very young, old, or severely ill. Oral rehydration is recommended, even when vomiting episodes occur.

A dogs digestive system is capable of handling much much higher concentrations of salmonella than a humans. The 5 dogs we currently own (JRT's, Fox terriers, and rat terriers) are all fed raw chicken as their main diet. That's right...raw chicken...with the bones in! Thighs, legs, and wings. Necks sometimes too. The bones are especially good for them. The chicken MUST be uncooked though since cooking will remove much of the nutritional values and will cause the bones to become brittle. On occasion my son will feed his dog chicken that's more than a bit past it's time (which I would think is teeming at this point with salmonella). The worst thing about this is his dog then has gas and blows everyone out the house.

It effects the immune system causing diarrhea and cramps. If it gets to the severe level it goes into the bloodstrem and could be fatal.

Yes. Many people get Salmonella and survive.

Ask your Family Doctor to get a checkup for your stool which is called a "StoolCulture" then you should wait for results then your doctor will prescribe you something. Nobody can tell you what medicine you need only doctors can!

Salmonella is a prokaryotic bacteria

You might not because if you have washed the chicken thoroughly then you could have washed the bacteria if there was any off. You would know if you had salmonella from about 6-72 hours after you have consumed the chicken.

The answer is eating uncooked chicken.

As of many other bacterias, salmonella cannot be seen, chayzz.

Yes. Anyone can sue for just about anything.

But the eggs' being free range does not absolve you of responsibility and it doesn't mean the eggs won't contain salmonella. If someone has become ill and blames your eggs, hopefully you have a decent lawyer.

no, only if you eat their eggs without cooking them first.

You can get ecoli or diahrea from their poop even if you do not put your head under water. You can lick your lips or tough your lips with your hands - - in fact you don't even have to be in the water swimming if at some point you have either touched the water or the tools used to maintain pool water and inadvertantly touch you mouth or lips with your contaminated hands. I speak from experience.

We fully concur. Ducks pose many health risks and it is important your family and friends are safe while bathing. Kings duck solution has been developed for this purpose. It is unique and a new natural answer to this question.

Yes, you can become reinfected many times. An infection offers you no immunity. As an additional side note, people can become chronically colonized with the organism. Essentially this means that they carry it around in their stool without any ill effects to themselves.

Salmonella typhimurium is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium.

salmonella is kinda the microbe itself. dude.

The illnesses caused by Salmonella bacteria is called salmonellosis.
