Salmonella are just two of the common foodborne diseases.
Once Salmonella is ingested, acids in the stomach try to fight it off. Bacteria that survive travel to the small intestines. Salmonella multiplies and invades the intestinal wall, causing irritation. In response, the intestinal wall produces mucus and fluid. This in turn causes diarrhea.
