Salmonella or salmonellosis, is an infection with Salmonella bacteria. This causes diarrhea, fever, stomach aches.

It can also help you reduce your risk of salmonella with safe food handling habits and by washing your hands after touching animals. 

It is also most common form of bacterial food poisoning in the US.

When you get salmonella, it means enough bacteria have gotten past your stomach acid and immune system to make you sick.
