Salmonella infection in healthy individuals can cause fever, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, complications can arise. For vulnerable populations, including young children, the immunocompromised, and the elderly, the bacteria can lead to severe illness and, in some instances, death.
