<h2>What Is Salmonella?</h2>Salmonella, or salmonellosis, is an infection caused by the Salmonella bacteria which can invade and destroy the cells that line the intestines, resulting in low water absorption. This makes it hard for the body to absorb water, which can give you stomach pains, diarrhea and fever.

Apart from this, other symptoms include: <ul><li>Fever</li><li>Nausea</li><li>Vomiting</li><li>Chills</li><li>Headache</li><li>Blood in the stool</li></ul>

Most people develop symptoms within 8 to 72 hours after exposure while most healthy people recover within a few days to a week without specific treatment. However, in some cases, diarrhea can cause severe dehydration and requires prompt medical attention.

While anyone can contract salmonella, children younger than five, elderly and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop severe infections. 

Life-threatening complications may develop if the infection spreads beyond the intestines to other organs. The risk of getting salmonella infection is higher with travel to countries without clean drinking water and proper sewage disposal.

While most people do not require medical attention for salmonella infection, those at high risk may need a health care provider if the infection lasts more than a few days, is associated with high fever or bloody stools and appears to be causing dehydration, with signs such as such as urinating less than usual, dark-colored urine as well as having a dry mouth and tongue.
