The Uptick in Salmonella: What Every Parent Needs to Know

Holly Wayment and Dr. J.B. Cantey  discuss salmonella in babies and children, explaining why infants are at higher risk of sepsis, common sources of salmonella (animals, food, daycare), and the symptoms to watch for. They cover prevention tips—hand hygiene, safe food preparation, pet precautions—hydration guidance, and clear warning signs (fever, decreased intake, lethargy, bloody stools or seizures) that mean you should seek urgent medical care.
