Salmonella causes a range of symptoms, including diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever, within 12 to 72 hours after exposure. Usually patients recover in a week though the infection can be serious in seniors, infants and those with compromised immune symptoms.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that food tainted with salmonella sickens 1 million people in the United States every year.
