Those more prone to severe symptoms include the elderly, pregnant individuals, children, and others with conditions that lead to a weakened immune system.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Salmonella causes around 1.35 million instances of sickness and 420 deaths annually in the United States.
