For more information email customercare@ Though people colloquially call the sickness salmonella, the illness is actually called salmonellosis. Salmonellosis is caused by the bacteria salmonella; a family of bacteria which lives in the gut of many birds and animals, and therefore can be passed along to humans when eating these animal products. The salmonella bacteria was named after Daniel E. Salmon, a veterinarian who spent his career studying animal diseases for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The salmonella bacteria has been around for centuries, having been known to make people sick since around 1885. People commonly fall sick with salmonella by eating contaminated food, such as: Raw or undercooked meat and poultry products Raw or undercooked eggs and egg products Raw or unpasteurised milk and other dairy products Raw fruits and vegetables You can also get the illness even if you don't eat the food itself. If you handle contaminated food, and then accidentally transfer the bacteria from their hands to your mouth, that's enough to contract the illness on many occasions. People can also spread the salmonella bacteria to other people, objects and surfaces once they've handled contaminated foods. The salmonella bacteria was named after Daniel E. Salmon, a veterinarian who spent his career studying animal diseases for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, The salmonella bacteria has been around for centuries, having been known to make people sick since around 1885. The incubation period for salmonella (the time it takes from picking up the bacteria to becoming ill) is between 6 hours and 3 days, but can be longer, according to the NHS. They state that it is often within 12-36 hours. People known as 'carriers' can have the germ in their stools for many months. More Trending The bacteria may take up to 7 weeks to clear out of the body so care should be taken not to infect others during this period, however, the greatest danger of passing it to others is early in the infection when the person is ill. Generally, salmonella is something one must go through and come out the other side – there's nothing that can speed up the process or fix the symptoms. The symptoms usually pass within a week. The NHS advises that people with salmonella should take care to drink plenty water or other clear fluids. They also add that low fat natural yoghurts and probiotic products (ones that contain small amounts of bacteria) can help to get the bowels back to normal once the worst of it has come to pass.

Denver restaurants aim for success during Restaurant Week amid high egg prices
DENVER (KDVR) — Denver Restaurant Week has provided customers with great deals for two decades. This year's event comes amid rising insurance costs and egg prices, and restaurants are offering more than just fixed price menus to make the most of the opportunity. Last year, participating restaurants sold more than 144,000 meals resulting in $10.5 million in revenue. Denver Restaurant Week: Menu, prices and new features announced for 2025 The Colorado Restaurant Association provided a statement to FOX31 saying community support is crucial this year. 'Denver Restaurant Week is vitally important to our local restaurant community, which is facing unprecedented challenges right now. Not only are costs out of control, including utilities, labor, insurance, eggs, and other ingredients, but diners aren't going out to eat as much these days, either,' the Colorado Restaurant Association said. 'A new report from Toast shows that Denver restaurants saw a 9% decline in transactions between Q4 2023 and Q4 2024, which is really scary for an industry with razor-thin margins. Please dine out as much as you can during Restaurant Week – our dining scene needs all the support it can get.' Alexis Treton, owner of La Bouche wine bar, located at 17th and Downing, told FOX31 he looks forward to providing new customers with a sample of his menu items and unique experience. 'It's all about sharing a moment with food and good wine,' he said. Treton said he has had to get creative when it comes to items that require eggs. 'Every two days, they are out of stock, so you just have to be smart,' he said. Larger restaurants like the Thirsty Lion Scratch Kitchen near Union Station are experiencing the same challenge as the price of eggs remains higher than usual. 'For us, about a $100 a case, but we are going to make it work,' said general manager Randy Strothers. Restaurants owners who testified in support of tipped wage bill were doxxed: Democrats The restaurant has brought back its popular Scotch Eggs appetizer ahead of St. Patrick's Day. 'Scotch eggs are boiled egg, wrapped gently with sausage, panko bread crumbs and then deep fry to a golden brown,' he said. The business is also drawing in customers with a traditional Irish menu featuring shepherd's pie, corned beef and cabbage, potato cakes and corned beef macaroni and cheese through March 17. Portions of each craft cocktail sold will benefit the St. Baldrick's Foundation supporting pediatric cancer research. To date, the Thirsty Lion has raised more than $298,000 for pediatric cancer research, matching the money raised through special food and drink offerings. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
