Symptoms of salmonella typically begin to show up 12 to 72 hours after the food is ingested. They include diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps. In most people, the symptoms go away in four to seven days. However, salmonella poisoning can be serious and even fatal in infants, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
