According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people can develop diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps between 12 and 72 hours after they are infected by salmonella. The illness usually lasts four to seven days.
CDC estimated salmonella causes about 1.2 million illnesses, 23,000 hospitalizations and 450 deaths in the US every year. Food is the major source of the bacteria.
