Germs, Salmonella
 Salmonella has been found in raw meat, poultry and eggs, raw
unwashed vegetables, un pasteurised milk and dairy products and many other
types of food.
It is found in the gut and faeces of animals and humans.
Salmonella is the second most common cause of food poisoning.
Salmonella survives when refrigerated although it is unable to multiply
through cooking and pasteurisation. Usually large numbers of the bacteria
are needed to cause infection.
It normally takes 12 to 48 hours for symptoms to develop. Symptoms
may include fever, diarrhoea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Infection may be
very severe, and in some cases may be fatal. It is particularly likely to
cause severe illness in the very young and very old. May last up to
three weeks.
