Salmonella Poisoning Quick Facts

- The primary source of these infections is foodborne transmission.
- Symptoms of Salmonella infection typically include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, with onset occurring within 6 hours to 6 days after infection. These symptoms generally persist for 4 to 7 days.

- Early recognition of symptoms and prompt medical attention can help mitigate the severity of Salmonella infections.
