Salmonella| Michigan Food Poisoning Lawyer

The Michigan food poisoning lawyers at our firm frequently handle cases involving clients who have contracted Salmonella food poisoning. These cases frequently involve people who have become ill after eating food that was prepared in unsanitary restaurants, day-care centers, nursing homes, camps, or under any other unsanitary conditions.

Salmonella food poisoning occurs when the small intestine becomes infected with bacteria that contaminates unsanitary food and water. Common Salmonella food poisoning causes include:

• Eating improperly stored food, especially meat, eggs, and poultry that have not been refrigerated
• Associating with family members or friends who have been infected
• Eating food from a day-care center, nursing home, camp, or restaurant that has been contaminated with salmonella
• Keeping an iguana, turtle, snake, lizard, or other reptile as a pet

Salmonella food poisoning symptoms include:

• Cramps or abdominal pain
• Diarrhea
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Fever
• Chills
• Muscle pain

Symptoms generally last for about 2 - 5 days and most people recover without medical treatment. It is important to realize, however, that a significant number of people face Salmonella food poisoning with weakened immune systems, and this may cause complications in the healing process. Also, prolonged diarrhea and vomiting risk causing severe dehydration, which can be a very serious health threat, especially for young children, the elderly, and people who are or recently have been sick. Anyone who may be suffering from Salmonella food poisoning should drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration and should seek medical attention immediately.

Reporting your illness, either through ReportFoodPoisoning.com, or directly to your health department, allows your health department to identify outbreaks and prevent others from becoming sick. Persons suffering illness from food poisoning can also pursue their legal rights against the restauarant or seller of food.
