Let me explain: The cdc points out that in few cases, salmonella can infect the blood and lead to reiter's syndrome. Symptoms of this health concern include pain in the joints eye irritation and pain when urinating the syndrome can last for months or even years. Chronic arthritis, suggests the cdc, may develop from reiter's syndrome. Some strains of the salmonella bacteria can lead to typhoid fever.

Salmonella: Dehydration and for some people it may take several months for bowel habitus to completely normalize. Salmonella symptoms can include abdominal pain/cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, fever, chills and dehydration but some people can be asymptomatic. There are extremely rare cases where reactive arthritis can develop. REF: REF: http://www.idph.state.il.us/public/hb/hbsam.htm

Sanitation: Agree with Drs. F and H. However, if you are getting salmonella frequently you need to change your sanitary practices, considering that this organism is transmitted from feces through food and water.
