Proper refrigeration and cooking can also help prevent Salmonella infection. The other statements are incorrect. There have been documented deaths from Salmonella infections, the symptoms of illness from Salmonella infection usually take 6-48 hours to develop, and Salmonella infection primarily affects the gastrointestinal system and does not cause respiratory failure.
