Besides undercooked chicken what are ways to get Salmonella ? My Mom got it & she had not had anything ?

Question

different, no different foods, no undercooked chicken. Curious how she got it.

Answer 1

eggs undercooked or raw. You can get it from handling raw chicken too

Answer 2

She could have gotten it anywhere.  It comes from many different things, more than under or not cooked food... It can live on surfaces and it does not die when is airborne... A shopping cart, a fridge handle, a kitchen counter, a door k**b... Anything really... I hope she is okay!! :)

Answer 3

Raw eggs and meat can also get it, and for a little bit awhile ago, so this theory is probably off, but some tomatoes contained salmonella, but that's probably not where she got it. I hope she gets better soon though!

Answer 4

I am a CCMA

You can get it from fast food, vegetables that are not washed properly

Counter tops.. Cross contamination from utensils

Answer 5

Any food could have the potential to be contaminated (cross contamination)

Has she eaten at any restaurants/fast food diners?

You could get it from fruits/veggies as well.

The list goes on and on.

Hope your mom feels better soon!

And pocky102694, Tomatoes have been cleared.The Salmonella outbreak was due to contaminated peppers from Mexico.

Answer 6
