The picnic and barbecue season has begun in nature, which means that the number of food poisoning will increase. According to the latest data, more than 1 million Americans get salmonella infection each year as a result of buying contaminated raw meat, as well as eggs and milk.
American doctor Summer Allen told you what symptoms suggest that you have a salmonella infection.
Stomach cramps, diarrhea, and fever are all common symptoms salmonella infection. FROMsymptoms usually develop 12–72 hours after exposure salmonella bacteria and usually last from two to seven days, — explained doctor.
This disease is especially dangerous for children, pregnant and elderly people with weakened immunity and chronic diseases.
Most patients do not require any treatment except for a large amount of fluid and bed rest. Despite the malaise, doctors advise drinking as much fluid as possible so as not to cause the body to become dehydrated.
If you feel a lack of fluid in the body or cannot drink water, because you are experiencing a gag reflex, then you must urgently seek medical help. In this case, it is possible that you will be prescribed antibiotics.
To avoid infection, doctors recommend first of all to observe hygiene: wash hands with soap before eating food, as well as disinfect cutlery and plates after contact with raw foods.
