For dinner that night, Blaire ate grilled chicken with asparagus and a dinner roll. ]]> 2018-07-13 01:59:49 UTC https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270104510 vjmoore02 https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270104674 Because Salmonella symptoms usually do not appear in a person until 72 hours after ingestion, Blaire had no idea that she was infected by a bacteria due to undercooked chicken at her dinner. Salmonella are gram-negative, rod-shaped bacilli that can cause salmonellosis, a diarrheal illness in humans. Salmonella typhi is a bacteria that typically affects people who ingest contaminated foods or water. Salmonella typically live in the intestinal tracts of animals. Salmonella outbreaks are often associated with contamination of eggs, meat and poultry. Foods that are most likely to cause infection are due to undercooked eggs, raw or contaminated milk, contaminated poultry or in this case: undercooked meat. ]]> 2018-07-13 02:01:49 UTC https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270104674 vjmoore02 https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270104869 Blaire began to experience the typical symptoms of Salmonella typhi: stomach cramps, bloody stools, chills, diarrhea, fever and nausea. ]]> 2018-07-13 02:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270104869 vjmoore02 https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270182745 Although Blaire began to experience the typical symptoms of Salmonella, in some cases an infected person may experience no symptoms of the bacteria. Other symptoms include: headache, muscle pains, vomiting and dizziness. ]]> 2018-07-14 04:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270182745 vjmoore02 https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270182901 Testing for Salmonella typhi is not common; often, an infected person is over the symptoms by the time the lab results come in. However, testing of the stools can determine if a person is infected with Salmonella. It typically takes 3 - 4 days to receive a result of the stool. Rarely, Salmonella infects a person's bloodstream; if the doctor suspects the bacteria has infected a person's bloodstream, a blood sample is used to determine. A person typically recovers within 4 - 7 days; however, if severe diarrhea occurs then a person may have to be hospitalized. ]]> 2018-07-14 04:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270182901 vjmoore02 https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270239211 At the highest risk are children, the elderly, and those with a weakened immune system: such as a person with HIV virus, AIDS or some type of cancer. ]]> 2018-07-15 18:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270239211 vjmoore02 https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270239288 A person with Salmonella will need to make sure their fluid intake is adequate. Drinking plenty of fluids will help maintain hydration. In some cases, a doctor will prescribe antibiotics. The doctor normally prescribes antibiotics in severe cases or if the bacteria has entered or is at risk of entering the bloodstream. Antimotility drugs may also help reduce symptoms of diarrhea; however, use of these drugs sometimes cause patients to have diarrhea for a longer amount of time.  ]]> 2018-07-15 18:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270239288 vjmoore02 https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270239474 -Washing hands frequently with soap and warm water or hand sanitizer. 
-Practice good food handling such as: keeping cooked and raw foods separate, cook food through (especially eggs and meat), avoid drinking untreated water and store raw foods in a fridge on the shelves under ready-to-eat foods. 
-Do not keep pet reptiles or amphibians inside the house if there are older people, pregnant women, very young children, or people with weakened immune systems in the household. ]]> 2018-07-15 18:52:35 UTC https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270239474 vjmoore02 https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270239713 2018-07-15 19:00:12 UTC https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270239713 vjmoore02 https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270239724 2018-07-15 19:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270239724 vjmoore02 https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270239732 2018-07-15 19:00:53 UTC https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270239732 vjmoore02 https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270239771 2018-07-15 19:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270239771 vjmoore02 https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270239778 2018-07-15 19:02:00 UTC https://padlet.com/vjmoore02/nexo1q4z1yop/wish/270239778
