I have had salmonella once. I used to work in a petstore, and got a mouthful of water from a turtle tank.....spit it out, rinsed, gargled....everything, and still got it. From what others have said, 'you won't know if you have it'.......I guarantee, YOU WILL......you cannot keep ANYTHING in.....when you drink water, it comes out.....when you eat, it comes out....all within MINUTES. When you burp, it is like 'gas' out of your mouth....it is horrible. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. I spent 2 days in the hospital pumping fluids I got so dehydrated. After that, the owner got a siphon that hooked up to a sink.....
