3. Dry Mouth
Another common sign that you may have been infected by the salmonella bacteria is dry mouth. There are many ailments and conditions that can result in dry mouth, but those who come in contact with the salmonella bacteria experience it due to being dehydrated. Salmonella is often found in contaminated water sources, or even in contaminated food supplies. People who eat or drink things that contain salmonella will often suffer from constant bouts of diarrhea.
It is equally common for salmonella poisoning to also cause vomiting. Both symptoms will cause a loss of fluids. If these symptoms persist for a certain period of time, the person who has salmonella poisoning may become dehydrated. The longer a person goes without proper hydration, the worse their dry mouth will become. It can even cause other side effects such as dizziness, fatigue, and lack of urine. It is important to maintain a proper electrolyte balance when battling poisoning.
