What is salmonella?
Salmonella is a bacteria, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Salmonella can cause about 1.35 million infections, 26,500 hospitalizations and 420 deaths in the U.S. every year, and food is the source of most of these illnesses.
For most people, symptoms of salmonella include diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. Symptoms usually begin six hours to six days after an infection, and last four to seven days.
The CDC says most people recover without a specific treatment, and should not take antibiotics, which are typically used only to treat people with severe illness, or people who are at risk for severe illness. Other cases require hospitalization.
