In the United States alone, 1.4 million people are diagnosed with salmonella food poisoning and about one thousand of these cases lead to death. Most of these incidents happen from unclean and unsanitary practices at home. This article will discuss some of the symptoms of salmonella and what you can do to protect yourself and your family.
Salmonella is a bacteria that attacks the stomach and intestines. In serious cases, salmonella may go into the lymph tracts and blood. Normally, children and the elderly are the people whom this bacteria seriously hurt, but people of all ages can be affected by it. Most of the symptoms are diarrhea or constipation, stomach cramps, headaches, fever, nausea and vomiting, and possibly blood in the feces. Dehydration can also occur from the vomiting and diarrhea. If the diarrhea lasts more than 24 hours and is frequent and intense, or there is blood in the feces, a person needs to contact a doctor right away.

Some ways to reduce the chance of bacteria like salmonella from hurting your family is to always wash and dry hands after going to the bathroom and before preparing any food. If you are using a knife to cut meat, always wash it or exchange it for a clean one before cutting vegetables or fruit. Whether a person uses a plastic cutting board or a butcher block cutting board to cut meat doesn't matter. What matters is that the board is washed or changed for a different one, before a person cuts other food. A person should also change the dishcloths out every day and wash the dishcloths in hot water and an antibacterial soap. Always store food like meat, poultry, and fish in the refrigerator. Bacteria will easily grow on these foods if they are left out for long periods of time.
When cooking food, it is important to cook it thoroughly, as heat is the only way to kill the salmonella bacteria. Don't crack any eggs on the edge of a bowl. Salmonella only exist on the shell and it can contaminate other foods in the bowl.

Black Friday Ginsu 04817 International Traditions 14-Piece Knife Set with Block, Natural Overview
Many associate Ginsu knives with the product’s kitschy infomercial from the ‘70s that begins with a karate kick to a watermelon and proceeds with a demo of these knives cutting through just about anything in the house. Like the original product, Ginsu’s International Traditions is designed for the home cook who is not attuned to the maintenance required of a more high-end knife. However, this line is an improvement on the original, offering the weight, balance, and style of a commercial-quality knife, while meeting current design trends and performance expectations.This 14-piece set stocks a kitchen with most cutlery needs, and packs all knives in a contemporary black hardwood storage block. The set includes: an 8-inch chef’s knife, an 8-inch slicer, a 7-inch santoku knife, a 5-1/2-inch boning knife, a 5-inch utility knife, a 3-1/2-inch paring knife, and six 4-1/2-inch steak knives, plus a pair of shears.
Ginsu blades are constructed from stainless steel and feature a two-dimensional serrated edge that is symmetrically cut on either side for more accurate slicing and for either right- or left-handed use. Edges are still as low-maintenance as ever and never require sharpening. The blades have full tangs that extend through lightweight bakelite handles and are triple-riveted for strength. Ginsu covers these International Traditions knives under a limited, lifetime warranty and recommends manual cleaning with hot, soapy water to keep them in top shape.
