In case you have not seen on the news in the last 2 days, please be aware that there is a salmonella outbreak in 42 states. Reportedly nearly 400 people have become sick, but they don't know how the bacteria are spreading.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has not named all the states, but reports have come from California, Ohio and Michigan.
Most people infected with salmonella develop diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours later. The illness usually lasts four to seven days. Most people recover without treatment.
Officials say steps to protect against illness include careful handling of raw meat and frequent hand washing.
