During class, I have become more aware of salmonella. Before taking this class, I did not exactly know what salmonella is. Salmonella are bacteria that can cause food poisoning. It can also cause diarrhea and typhoid fever. Salmonella infections are most commonly caused by contaminated food. After learning this, I started to eat less medium-rare cooked meat and more well-cooked meat. By cooking meat for a longer time, it kills off more of the bacteria and contaminants in the meat and greatly reduces the chances of being infected with salmonella.
