Veggie Booty Recall, Salmonella poisoning?!
Question:
Veggie Booty Recall, Salmonella poisoning?
On Monday i had a small package of the veggie booty product and then saw last night that there had been a recall on it! I had a horrible headache on Wednesday and have had on and off stomach aches since yesterday. I haven't had diarrhea but very close to it (not very hard stool, sorry TMI) Should i be concerned? If i have salmonella poisoning will it just go away or do i need to see a doctor? Thanks for your help :)
Answers:
Please read http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseasein... for general information on salmonella. I don't want to tell you that you will definitely recover without medical intervention, but most people, unless their immune system is compromised, recover over a few days to two weeks. I have had salmonella (the Wal-Mart Great Value Peanut Butter outbreak) and recovered in three days. But of course if you begin vomiting excessively, have excessive diarrhea, faint, begin having an irregular heartbeat, see a physician, as your electrolytes may be imbalanced.
