Australia – Mother says her 10-month-old son caught salmonella poisoning from a shopping trolley

Daily Mail Online

A mother-of-five has warned other parents to be wary of the hygiene of shopping trolleys after her 10-month-old son contracted a salmonella infection and meningitis.

Vivienne Wardrop, 35, went for a quick shop at Helensvale, on Queensland’s Gold Coast, on September 13 and took her baby boy with her, putting him in a trolley.

Almost 24 hours later, her son, Logan, started getting severe diarrhoea, vomiting and was running a high temperature.

At one point, the diarrhoea got so bad he started passing blood.
