Cadbury Chocolate Threat

Posted at September 1, 2006 8:19 PM in Who Knows ? .

According to various sources, a brand chocolate sold here in Tunisia (Carrefour) issued from Cadbury products may contain salmonella bacteria. So take care when shopping and warn your family and friends. For more details, please refer to the Caoua party blog.

Salmonellosis is an infection with a bacteria called Salmonella. Most persons infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, and most persons recover without treatment. However, in some persons the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. In these patients, the Salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream, and then to other body sites and can cause death unless the person is treated promptly with antibiotics. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.
