How long does it take for salomonella (sp) to take effect?

I recently ate some uncooked cookie dough about 2 hours ago (couldn't resist) and now I am feeling very unsteady and drowsy.





Could this be salmonella already?

How long does it take for salomonella (sp) to take effect?
It takes anywhere from 6-72 hours before the onset of symptoms after the ingestion of Salmonella. If it was only two hours, then it's probably not Salmonella. You shouldn't eat raw cookie dough becuse of the raw eggs in it. Salmonella is most often associated with the consumption of raw or undercooked chicken and eggs. Cookie has a high sugar content, making it hard for the Salmonella to survive in it.
Reply:Salmonella requires more time. The organism has to first get to your gut, then get established there. No toxin is not produced until the Salmonella reaches a population of several million. Normally gastroenteritis from a salmonella infection takes 2-4 days.





Cookie dough is a rather poor source for a major dose of salmonella. Now if you ate a raw chicken that would be different.

Reply:well i just want to let u know that i have made batches of cookie dough for the sole purpose of eating them raw and nothing ever happened to me because of it...I don't think you can get salmonella from it...I think it's mostly in meat and stuff. Could it be something else you did? I hope you feel ok
Reply:First off salmonella is mostly in uncooked poultry.





Second off, I have food poisoning, salmonella, from eating a piece of chicken that was mostly cooked, except for one little part, of at which I thought was okay and thought it would have been steamed. Honey, it's been almost 2 weeks now and I still feel like crap. They say that it comes on within' 24-48 hours and goes away. That's a bunch of bull crap.





My mother had been food poisoned at a fast food place YEARS ago and still gets sick from time to time because of it.





Here's you a link about food poisoning that I've had saved in my favorites bookmark...

I hope this has helped ya and I hope your feeling better soon!





P.s. you shouldn't eat uncooked cookie dough for the fact that it's fattening! lol But I'm not sure if you can get food poisoned from that. I use to do it all the time, but got sick from the sugars. So, it may be something just as simple as that. Not unless someone else is sick the way you are, will the doctor say it's food poisoning. As for me, I cooked it for myself and luckily not my boyfriend and I knew I ate it half raw. So, that's how I got diagnosed.
