3. Vomiting
One of the common signs of salmonella poisoning is vomiting. The salmonella bacteria invade the digestive systems leading to stomach upset, nausea and of course, vomiting. Too much vomiting can lead to secondary health concerns such as malnutrition and dehydration.
Seniors, infants, and those with certain conditions are more prone to vomiting when suffering from salmonella poisoning. The body will do everything in its power to expel a bacteria that reached the stomach in an effort to self-preserve. While this may be helpful in some cases, too much vomiting can cause weakness, burn the lining of the throat and may even lead to confusion.
People who are suffering from vomiting but are unsure of the cause may have salmonella poisoning. If you have eaten in a new location or if you think you have consumed contaminated liquids, seek medical attention. Depending on the severity a range of treatment or rest may be prescribed.
