As a reminder, Rospotrebnadzor reported that salmonella markers were detected in a number of sick people. These bacteria cause salmonellosis, a disease that primarily affects the gastrointestinal tract with symptoms of general intoxication and dehydration. Symptoms of the disease do not appear immediately and may take several days to appear. Moreover, to infect a person with salmonellosis, several dozen bacteria are enough.
