Symptoms of salmonellosis include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. They develop 12 to 72 hours after infection, and the illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Most people recover without treatment.

However, diarrhea and dehydration may be so severe that it is necessary to go to the hospital. Older adults, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are at highest risk of adverse health consequences.

How Do You Get Rid of Salmonella?

Most people recover from a salmonella infection without medical intervention. Antibiotic medications are usually only used to treat patients with severe symptoms. Patients with diarrhea should drink extra fluids until the condition subsides. In rare cases, diarrhea may be so severe that the individual requires emergency hospitalization.

Bacterial Pathogens in Dried Teas

Both dried teas and herbs are derived from agricultural products and can be contaminated with bacterial pathogens during the production, processing, storage, and/or packaging process.

Once contaminated, bacterial pathogens such as pesticide residues and Salmonella can survive for prolonged periods of time in these low-moisture products. Depending on the end use, for example, if dried teas are cold-brewed, the presence of bacterial pathogens creates a potential risk for foodborne illnesses.
