01
What is Salmonella?
Salmonella includes a large group of bacteria, which are mainly divided into five categories according to antigens. The main causes of human illness are typhoid bacillus, enteritis bacteria, paratyphoid bacillus and so on. These bacteria are mainly transmitted through the digestive tract. According to statistics, globally, Salmonella is the culprit in human bacterial food poisoning.
02
What are the symptoms of salmonella infection?
Salmonella is widespread in the natural environment. Meat, eggs, milk, seafood, seafood, etc., are all products that salmonella is easy to accumulate.
After salmonella infection, patients usually have symptoms such as fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Mild patients can generally heal themselves within 3-5 days; severe cases may develop bacteremia, and even cause central nervous system infections, the formation of encephalitis, meningitis, and then may appear delirium (acute cerebral syndrome), drowsiness, convulsions and other more serious symptoms.
03
How can salmonella infection be prevented?
1. Wash your hands frequently after touching meat, eggs, milk and seafood;
2. When storing food, raw and cooked are separated, and placed in the same refrigerator should also be covered with plastic wrap.
3. The most important point is that the food is fully heated before eating.
Taking eggs as an example, Salmonella is very common in eggs, and if there is a habit of eating raw or semi-cooked eggs, the risk of infection is greatly increased.

Can you cope with fever and be "hard resistant"?
Generally speaking, if the fever is more than three days, it may be caused by infection with pathogens, viruses and other heat sources. At this point, it is unwise to be "stiff".
