Salmonella infections usually present in healthy people as fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Currently no illnesses have been reported.
Among young children, frail or elderly people, or those with weakened immune systems the Salmonella organism can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections.
A recent recall on several brands of eggs was announced due to salmonella outbreaks in nine states.
Earlier this month, the FDA gave the recall a Class I label, meaning that there is a reasonable probability that exposure to the eggs will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
Distributed by Wisconsin-based Milos Poultry Farms, LLC, the contaminated eggs have sickened 65 people and hospitalized 24.
