mild to severe diarrhea may be bloody)

	nausea and vomiting

How is it spread?

	Handling raw poultry or eating raw or undercooked poultry - a very small number or organisms can cause illness - even one drop of juice from raw chicken can infect a person.
	Drinking contaminated waster or unpasteurized milk.
	Animals can also be infected, and some people have gotten the infection from contact with the infected stool of an ill dog or cat.
	Another way to become infected is to cut poultry on a cutting board and then use the unwashed cutting board or utensil to prepare other raw or lightly cooked foods.

Diagnosis and treatment

	The disease can be diagnosed with a laboratory culture of a stool sample from an ill person.
	Most people recover without treatment - in more severe cases, antibiotics can be used (your doctor will make the decision about whether antibiotics are necessary)

Prevention

	Cook all poultry products thoroughly - make sure the meat is cooked throughout, any juices run clear, and the inside is cooked to 170 degrees Fahrenheit for breast meat, and 180 degrees Fahrenheit for thigh meat.
	Wash hands well before and after preparing food, especially after handling raw meat or poultry.
	Wash your hands with soap and water after using the bathroom or changing diapers.
	Do not drink unpasteurized milk and untreated surface water.
	Make sure that other foods do not come into contact with cutting boards or knives that have been used with raw meat or poultry.  Wash them carefully with soap and water to avoid cross-contamination.
	Wash hands after handling animals or pets and their waste.
