How Does Salmonella Make You Sick?Salmonella is a group of bacteria (among many) that can cause food poisoning<\/a>. A salmonella infection can be serious and sometimes deadly for vulnerable groups, including young children, seniors, and those with weakened immune systems.<\/p>\n

[2]<\/p>\n

In healthy people, salmonella infection can cause symptoms that can start anywhere from 6 hours to 6 days after eating contaminated food.<\/p>\n

[3]<\/p>\n

Symptoms include:<\/p>\n

FeverHeadacheDiarrhea (which may be bloody)Stomach crampsNausea and vomiting<\/p>\n

Symptoms of salmonella infection usually last 4 to 7 days. Dehydration is the biggest concern; drink plenty of clear fluids while you recover.<\/p>\n

In severe cases, the infection may spread from the intestines to the blood, and could lead to life-threatening complications<\/a> without prompt treatment.<\/p>\n

Most cases of salmonella poisoning get better on their own, but if you have a weakened immune system, or if your symptoms are severe, you should seek medical care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Organic chia seeds sold nationwide at retailers including Whole Foods and Amazon have been recalled because of possible…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":271282,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[103,61,60,446],"class_list":{"0":"post-271281","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-nutrition"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271281\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/271282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
