Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause severe infection in infants, adults 65 and older and people with weakened immune systems, according to the CDC. Most people with salmonella infection have diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps that begin six hours to six days after infection and last four to seven days, the health agency said.

The CDC added that most people recover from the illness at home within four to seven days, but those who become severely sick might need antibiotics to get better.
