Can you pass salmonella poisoning?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Yes.People with salmonellosis can spread the infection from several days to several weeks after they've been infected — even if their symptoms have disappeared or they've been treated with antibiotics.


Can you pass Salmonella from person to person?

Salmonella is spread by the fecal-oral route and can be transmitted by • food and water, • by direct animal contact, and • rarely from person-to-person. An estimated 94% of salmonellosis is transmitted by food. Humans usually become infected by eating foods contaminated with feces from an infected animal.

Can Salmonella affect one person and not another?

Salmonella can make anyone sick, but not everyone is affected by the bacteria equally. Young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to the bacteria than healthy adults.

Can I catch food poisoning from someone else?

Food poisoning caused by viruses can also pass from person to person. A common foodborne virus is norovirus, which causes inflammation in the stomach and intestines. Hepatitis A is another foodborne illness from a virus. This highly contagious acute liver infection causes inflammation of the liver.

How is Salmonella passed on?

Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Every year, approximately 40,000 cases of salmonellosis are reported in the United States. Because many milder cases are not diagnosed or reported, the actual number of infections may be thirty or more times greater.
