When people got sick

This chart shows when the 14 people in this Salmonella outbreak got sick.

Recent illnesses may not have been reported as it usually takes 3 to 4 weeks to determine if a sick person is part of an outbreak. The true number of sick people in this outbreak is also likely much higher than the number reported. This is because many people recover without medical care and are not tested for Salmonella.
