10 Salmonella Poisoning Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
9. Bloody Stools
Salmonella can result in damage to the lining of the digestive system. This, in turn, can cause us to bleed internally. This can be very dangerous for us depending on the severity of the bleeding, so it is something that requires our full attention if it happens. One way to know we are bleeding internally is that it can cause us to have bloody stools.
In addition to being able to see blood in our stools, they can also be much darker than usual, and they can also have a tar-like consistency. Blood in your stools is not a good sign regardless of the suspected cause. They should encourage the patient to get medical assistance.
