Usually, symptoms of salmonella are experienced only by mothers. These symptoms include nausea, fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. Foods containing raw eggs are homemade ice cream, salad dressing, and homemade mayonnaise.
Raw Sprouts: Raw sprouts such as clover, alfalfa, radish and mung bean sprouts, may be contaminated with Salmonella. This is because the humid environment needed by seeds to start sprouting is ideal for these kinds of bacteria to grow and they’re almost impossible to wash off.
