Answer 3

The Salmonella family includes over 2,300 serotypes of bacteria which are one-celled organisms too small to be seen without a microscope. Two types, Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium account for approximately half of all human infections. Strains that cause no symptoms in animals can make people sick, and vice versa. If present in food, it does not affect the taste, smell, or appearance of the food. The bacteria live in the intestinal tracts of infected animals and humans.
Salmonellosis, or a Salmonella infection, is the illness that can occur if live Salmonella bacteria enter the body, usually through eating foods containing the bacteria. Salmonellosis is one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses, but many cases could be prevented by proper food handling practices.

Answer 8

Salmonella is a bacterial illness that you get from undercooked chick or meat, you can also get it if you handle raw meat and not wash your hands or if you chop up raw meat and chop up things like fruits or veggies with the same knife or you can get it if you get meat blood on the counter and chop up other foods in the blood.

Just use caution and cook your meats thoroughly and you will be fine.
