By the CDC’s count, salmonella strikes 1.35 million Americans each year, hospitalizes about 26,500 and kills 420. Most at risk for the worst effects are senior citizens, children under 5 and those with damaged immune systems. Most people get fever, vomiting, stomachaches and diarrhea that starts around 12 to 72 hours after eating the tainted food and runs for four to seven days.
Listeria is less common, but more lethal, killing about 260 of the 1,600 Americans infected each year, the CDC says. In addition to the people most vulnerable to salmonella’s worst effects, add pregnant women, who can suffer stillbirths and miscarriage. Listeria symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, high fever, severe headaches, stomach aches, stiffness, confusion and poor balance.
