What should you do if you are exposed to salmonella?

Maintian hydration: The symptoms generally appear 12 to 72 hours after exposure. Most people with salmonella diarrhea will recover on their own or only require fluids to prevent dehydration. Antibiotics and antidiarrheal drugs are generally not recommended for persons with typical intestinal infections.

Hydrate well.: Most of the time, no treatment is required for Salmonellosis. Oral hydration is important. Antibiotics may be used for at risk individuals (such as infants < 3 months old) or if complications arise. IV hydration is sometimes indicated.
