Qui est touché et comment cela se transmet

Salmonella usually spreads through contaminated food, including eggs, meat, dairy, produce, or kitchen cross-contamination. In outbreaks like this one, person-to-person spread can happen but is not usually the main route. WHO says illness is usually mild, but severe disease can occur in children, older people, and immunocompromised people. The usual incubation period is about 6 to 72 hours after exposure.
