Doctor Explains How to Avoid Salmonella Poisoning

Salmonella outbreaks are a recurring concern, affecting people of all ages. Recently, a video by Dr. Kunal Sood highlighted the importance of proper food handling and cooking to prevent salmonella infection. The video uses simple language and visual aids to explain that salmonella can be found in undercooked poultry, eggs, unpasteurized dairy, and even flour. Symptoms include diarrhea, fever, nausea, and stomach cramps. Dr. Sood emphasizes cooking chicken to 165°F (74°C) and avoiding raw eggs and unpasteurized milk. "Salmonella doesn't always change a food's taste, smell, or appearance," Dr. Sood points out, underscoring the importance of safe food handling practices. The video's clear message and widespread reach make it a valuable resource for public health education.
