The test results will take at least a week, Dr. Thorpe said. We would like to thank Virginia Health Commissioner E. Anne Peterson, M.D., M.P.H., as well as state, Richmond City, Hanover County, and Chesterfield County health investigators who assisted the hardworking Henrico County Health Department staff with this investigation, Dr. Thorpe said. Salmonella infection is caused by bacteria that may be spread by eating contaminated food or by not practicing good hygiene. The bacteria usually affect the intestinal tract and occasionally the bloodstream. The most common symptoms are mild or severe diarrhea, fever, abdominal pain, headache, and occasionally vomiting.
Symptoms generally appear one to three days after exposure.
Avoid eating raw or undercooked poultry and meats. The Henrico County Division of Police is holding a rabies clinic on Saturday, April 21, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., at gate four of the Richmond International Raceway. All dogs and cats ages 4 months and older are required to have a rabies shot. Representatives from several county agencies, including Community Maintenance and Keep Henrico Beautiful, will join Donati to discuss specific activities residents can take part in to enhance local properties and neighborhoods. Donati holds town meetings the third Monday of each month.
