Salmonella is bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal illness. Most people infected with it will develop symptoms within 12 to 72 hours after infection, per the FDA. The illness typically lasts up to a week with most people recovering without treatment. However, it can be fatal.
Symptoms may include diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps and high fever.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, those at high risk of infection include children younger than 5 years old, adults over the age of 50 with medical problems, adults over the age of 65 and people with a weakened immune system.
