A Salmonella outbreak in Dahlhart, Texas has sickened at least a dozen people some of whom have been hospitalized. Health officials have not yet determined the source of the outbreak which began several weeks ago.
Symptoms of a Salmonella infection usually develop between 12 and 72 hours after exposure and last up to a week. They include diarrhea, which can be bloody, nausea, vomiting, fever, and abdominal cramps. Dehydration is a risk. In a small percentage of cases, the infection travels to the bloodstream producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis.
