People infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but this can range between six and 72 hours.
The illness usually lasts between four and seven days, and the resulting diarrhoea can occasionally be severe enough to require hospital admission.
At the onset of symptoms, people suffering from Salmonella poisoning should visit a doctor who may ask for a stool sample and about the products you have eaten.
