In some cases, severe illness may occur which requires medical attention and hospitalization. Usually, people get salmonella by eating contaminated food. Foods of animal origin may be contaminated with Salmonella, so people should not eat raw or undercooked meats. It is very important to note that most products contaminated with Salmonella do not taste or look any different than normal. Animals can also carry Salmonella and pass it on in their feces. Therefore, people can get salmonella if they do not wash their hands after contact with the feces of animals. If you have a compromised immune system, avoid contact with most exotic animals and even farm animals to avoid contamination of salmonella.
