Be careful, when excessive numbers of Salmonella bacteria in your body. Because this type of bacteria can cause life-threatening infection sufferer and when the bacteria are grown to 100,000. Patients with Salmonella infection who have too much fluid can spend his life threatened due to lack of fluids (dehydration) is excessive.

This will be even more dangerous when children or parents with poor immune systems. When you've seen the signs of Salmonella poisoning the patient should be immediately taken to the doctor.

While the rest of the food suspected of causing an infection should be immediately discarded and should not be mixed with other foods. Plates, knives and other kitchen tools that touched food suspected to contain Salmonella should be washed with hot or boiling water so that bacteria die.

Salmonella is a bacteria that includes microorganisms that very small and invisible to the eye. In addition, these bacteria do not leave any smell or taste in food. Unless the food (chicken meat) contain Salmonella in bulk, then it changes color and odor (pale pink to greenish, foul-smelling).


Usually the bacteria can be detected through laboratory tests. Salmonella can be found in air, water, soil, waste and animal feces or pet food.

Source of Salmonella bacteria are usually found in poultry (chicken, duck, turkey), pork, marine animals, eggs and milk. Animal foodstuffs most often served as a source of Salmonella infections is poultry. Salmonella infected birds can spread the seeds of bacteria through the meat, eggs either on the skin or the content of the egg.

Meanwhile, in Germany, meat or milk may be said to have been free of Salmonella. But this does not apply to poultry or eggs. Very often it happens is Salmonella poisoning from foods containing raw eggs (not processed), such as mayonnaise, ice cream and pudding.


When foods containing raw eggs are not stored properly (not cooled, it is stored too long or not heated at all) it is probable Salmonella will multiply rapidly. Mayonnaise is usually acidic (pH below 4, Salmonella live in the pH 4-9). In mayonnaise added acetic acid as vinegar. Acetic acid in the mayonnaise will kill Salmonella.

To avoid cross-contamination, wash objects that are exposed to water, such as knives, hands and cutting mat. To follow anitipasi, save chickens and frozen meat that has not been separately from other foodstuffs.
