Bacteria can cause gastrointestinal diseases

Salmonella can be a cause of severe stomach / intestinal illness (salmonellosis).

The disease occurs several hours to several days after the infection and is manifested primarily by the sudden onset of diarrhea, abdominal pain, discomfort, cold and headache.

In some cases, vomiting and a mild fever are added.

Symptoms usually disappear after a few hours or days.

However, for babies, young children, the elderly and fragile immune systems, fluid loss due to diarrhea and vomiting can be dangerous. (Ad)
