Salmonella bacteria can cause vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fever. Symptoms typically start six hours to six days after ingestion. While anyone can contract salmonella, certain groups, including the elderly, pregnant women, children, and individuals with weakened immune systems, are more susceptible to severe symptoms.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that salmonella causes about 1.35 million illnesses and 420 deaths annually in the United States.
