According to the FDA, salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people infected with salmonella often experience serious but less severe symptoms. In rare instances, the FDA said infection can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infection, endocarditis and arthritis.
