Well the good news is that most cases of salmonella poisoning are not serious enough to cause death in most people.

Salmonella poisoning is rarely fatal as long as you are in overall good health and symptoms of Salmonella poisoning usually happen within 12 to 72 hours after you've been infected with salmonella.

Symptoms of salmonella poisoning include diarrhea, fatigue, abdominal cramps and even muscle weakness.

It still is a good idea though to go to the doctor to get checked out to make sure your salmonella poisoning is not the severe kind.

Dying from Salmonella although rare takes around 2 days to a week or even longer depending on how severe the salmonella is you have.
