- Muscle Ache
Salmonella infections are associated with a wide array of symptoms, ranging from malaise to shortness of breath. Muscle discomfort is one of the common symptoms of Salmonella poisoning that I also experience.
Salmonella poisoning has a strong correlation with the severity of an ill person’s aches and pains. Muscle pain is a consistent symptom in moderate to severe cases of salmonella poisoning. The brain recognizes salmonella bacteria as soon as they penetrate the body. Once activated, your immune system will produce antibodies and white blood cells in an effort to expel the microorganisms from your body.
Salmonella bacteria infect the entire body, including the musculature. Consequently, when your body attempts to fight off the infection, you might experience muscle and joint discomfort. Essentially, the combat between your body and salmonella infections takes place in your muscles.
