Symptoms of E. coli & Salmonella Infection
STEC (E. coli) infections usually appear 2–8 days after exposure and can involve severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (often bloody), and vomiting. While most people recover within a week, children, older adults, and immunocompromised individuals face a higher risk of kidney failure (HUS).
Salmonella symptoms—nausea, fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea—typically develop 6–72 hours after ingestion. Most healthy adults recover without treatment, but the bacteria can invade the bloodstream and become life-threatening for infants, seniors, and people with weakened immune systems.
