'''Salmonella''' is a [[bacteria|bacterium]] that occurs naturally in [[fish]] and [[meat]], but can cause severe illness in humans if ingested. Symptoms of salmonella are typically severe and include [[vomit|vomiting]], [[diarrhea]], [[hallucination|hallucinations]], abdominal cramps and [[fever]] within eight to 72 hours of eating a contaminated product.<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,599822,00.html</ref><ref>http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/salment_g.htm</ref> If untreated, it can be life-threatening, especially to those with weakened [[Immune system|immune systems]]. Human contamination was first documented from salmon consumption, hence the name "Salmonella." However, in more recent times, cases of salmonella have usually resulted from [[Chicken|chickens]] and other [[poultry]]. Contaminated food should be cooked thoroughly or sterilized in boiling water. While most human cases have resulted from contact with contaminated food, pets and wildlife can also transmit the [[disease]].
