Top counties in Georgia for Salmonella outbreaks

The Georgia Department of Public Health indicates there are more than 2,300 Salmonella cases in the state each year. While the state does not publish information on the top counties for Salmonella exposure, the University of Georgia College of Public Health indicates that:

• The Little River watershed near Tifton has one of the highest salmonellosis rates statewide.
• Many rural areas of South Georgia have high rates of Salmonella Muenchen.

Uncovering where you were exposed to Salmonella can be one of the biggest challenges when you pursue a claim for compensation. It is up to you to prove the defendant was responsible for making you sick, so you’ll likely need help with a thorough investigation that reveals who was to blame.

At The Lange Law Firm, our legal team works with dedicated experts, interfaces with public health agencies, and uses proven strategies like the traceback method to identify how the dangerous Salmonella bacteria got into your system.

We will also help you to explore advanced options like DNA testing and whole-genome sequencing, which can be critical in proving your specific source of exposure.  Those who were careless in ensuring the food they produced or served was safe for consumption must be held responsible for the harm they caused. Our mission is to make that possible.

Serious complications from Salmonella

Salmonella can cause many serious complications when you are exposed to the bacteria and develop an infection. Some of the potential consequences to your health include:

• Severe dehydration: When you suffer extreme fluid loss from diarrhea caused by Salmonella, you can get very sick. You may need to be admitted to the hospital to receive fluids, and you may experience low blood pressure, shock, or kidney failure.
• Bacteremia and sepsis: If the bacteria enters the bloodstream, they can spread throughout your body. This can trigger sepsis, which is an immune response that affects all of your body systems and that could be life-threatening.
• Invasive infections: After Salmonella gets into your bloodstream, it can impact your tissue and organs. This could lead to issues like Osteomyelitis (a bone infection), endocarditis (infection of the inner lining of the heart valves), or meningitis (infection of the membranes that are around your brain and spinal cord).
• Reactive arthritis: This condition can sometimes develop weeks after you were initially sick. It results from an inflammatory immune-system response that affects your joints and eyes. It can also make urination painful.

The more severe your illness or injuries, the more important it is to find a legal advocate who can fight for you. You deserve to be made whole for all of your losses, and The Lange Law Firm will help you to prove damages so you can get the money you need.
