It is estimated that about 450 people die from a salmonella infection each year.

Salmonella rarely affects the taste or appearance of foods, so there is no way to know if the food is contaminated.

Salmonella is more common in the summer due to foods being warmer and unrefrigerated.

Salmonella can spread from animals to humans, so always wash your hands after handling an animal.

There are two types of salmonella; one is associated with contaminated foods and food poisoning. The other type is associated with typhoid and poor hygiene which causes typhoid fever.

Salmonella can cause diseases known as: typhoid fever, food poisoning, and gastroenteritis.

Symptoms can include: diarrhea, fever, chills, abdominal pain, and headache.

To prevent salmonella, cook poultry, eggs, and ground beef thoroughly. Don't drink unpasteurized milk. Always wash your hands after contact with animals or changing diapers.

Animals or humans can get salmonella. It's acquired by consuming undercooked meat, poor handwashing, and eating foods contaminated with the bacteria.

To treat salmonella, most people only need fluids and recover in a week or less. If it's severe, it may require IV fluids and antibiotics.
