>Apparently, a leaking pipe at Cadbury's Marlbrook chocolate factory in
>Herefordshire caused the salmonella contamination. The fault in the
pipe
>was discovered in January, 2006. Samples were sent to an independent
>laboratory which identified a rare strain of salmonella
(salmonella
>Montevideo) . Cadbury Schweppes says this is purely a precautionary
measure.
>Levels of contamination, they say, are well below danger levels.
>
>The company says people should not be alarmed if they have eaten any of
>these seven brands. They can contact the company if they want a full
>refund. The Food Standards Agency is carrying out its own investigation
and
>advises people not to consume the products. The Health Protection
Agency is
>carrying out a separate investigation.

>Symptoms of Salmonella Gastroenteritis
>
>-- Sudden onset of nausea
>-- Abdominal cramping
>-- Bloody diarrhea with mucous is common

>Salmonellosis (salmonella infection) has no real cure, only the
symptoms
>can be treated. Less than 1% of cases are fatal. Symptoms usually
appear
>within 6-72 hours after the it enters your body. The patient
usually
>recovers after 5 to 7 days. The main thing to look out for is
dehydration.
>A complication can be when the infection spreads out from the
intestines.
>
>If your diarrhea is severe you will require rehydration.

>Antibiotics are used when:
>-- The illness persists
>-- The infection spreads out from the intestines
