Salmonella Food Poisoning

Salmonella is a bacteria that commonly causes food poisoning, especially in people with vulnerable immune systems. In health people, infections with Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

“In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.”
