1. If you have a food that has been recalled or that you suspect has been contaminated with salmonella, double bag it, throw it away and make sure you wash any surfaces or dishes it's touched with warm water and soap.

2. Salmonella is a bacterium that causes food poisoning. It can make you very sick, and it causes over 1 million infections in the United States each year.

3. Salmonella infection symptoms usually kick in within six hours to six days after ingestion, and they may include fever, bloody diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and dehydration.

4. Foods that tend to get salmonella contamination include fruits, chicken, eggs, beef, pork, sprouts, and even some prepackaged foods.

5. People usually get better without antibiotics on their own after four to seven days, but you need to seek medical attention if you have a high fever over 102 degrees Fahrenheit, bloody diarrhea, vomiting, or diarrhea that persists even after three days, or symptoms of dehydration.

Being informed and vigilant about salmonella infections is crucial for your health and safety. Remember, prevention is key. Always practice good hygiene in the kitchen, cook meats thoroughly, and avoid cross-contamination of foods.

If you suspect you have a salmonella infection, don't hesitate to seek medical attention, especially in severe cases. By staying aware and taking appropriate actions, you can protect yourself and your loved ones from the risks associated with salmonella. Stay safe and healthy!
