Symptoms of a Salmonella food poisoning infection typically start six to 72 hours after someone consumes food contaminated with the pathogen, although this time can extend to one week. Most people recover without medical treatment. Symptoms include a fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, abdominal and stomach cramps and pain, and diarrhea that can be bloody.
