In addition, poisonous chemicals, or other harmful substances can cause food borne illnesses if they are present in food. More than two hundred and fifty different food borne illnesses have been described; almost all of these illnesses are infections.

The illness it causes is often a severe and bloody diarrhea and a painful abdominal cramp. In 3% to 5% of cases, a complication called hemolytic uremic syndrome can occur several weeks after the initial symptoms. These severe complications include temporary anemia, profuse bleeding, and kidney failure.

Salmonella usually last four to seven days and most people recover without treatment. People with severe diarrhea must be hospitalized.  The Salmonella can spread in from the intestines to the bloodstream and other parts of the body and can cause death of not treated quickly with antibiotics. People with a weak immune system, elderly, and infants are more likely to…show more content Half the outbreak occurred in Illinois, at various Jimmy John’s outlets where people ate sandwiches containing the sprouts. During the investigation, the FDA took a sample from a water run-off that had bacteria identical to the strain of the Salmonella found in the outbreak.
