Salmonella.

Quit putting the Mickey.

Salmonella is some nasty bacteria that people get from eating food contaminated with said bacteria. Some people refer to is as tyhphoid. My sister got it once in Mexico city from a posh restaurant, so it goes to show that you can get it anywhere, even from people who prepare food and have it, but neglect to wash their hands after using the bathroom. Nevertheless, she spent three months really ill, and had these recurrent high fevers every day at the same hour. She dropped like twent poounds as well. She got over it and now looks at what and where she eats over with a magnifying glass before sitting down.

Nasty bug.

LMFAO...You're kidding right?? It's Salmonella honey!!!

I believe you're referring to "salmonella." The species was named after Daniel Elmer Salmon, a veterinary pathologist.

Sam and Ella?

its salmonilla it only sounds like sam and ella here is the info so you know how to protect yourself

wow. I'm really glad we got this cleared up in time. Gee, I feel like a genius now. Thanks, you made my day!

It's the 2 names they liked best ! lol

Naaaaaaaaaah. It's a joke!
Salmonella nomenclature has been controversial since the original taxonomy of the genus was not based on DNA relatedness, rather names were given according to clinical considerations, e.g., Salmonella typhi, Salmonella cholerae-suis, Salmonella abortus-ovis, and so on. When serological analysis was adopted into the Kauffmann-White scheme in 1946, a Salmonella species was defined as "a group of related fermentation phage-type" with the result that each Salmonella serovar was considered as a species. Since the host-specificity suggested by some of these earlier names does not exist (e.g., S. typhi-murium, S. cholerae-suis are in fact ubiquitous), names derived from the geographical origin of the first isolated strain of the newly discovered serovars were next chosen, e.g., S. london, S. panama, S. stanleyville.

I won't tell you how old I was before I finally figured out that it was "dawn's early light" and not "donnserly light"

I wanted to know what a donnser was. :)

Lord help you child! Its called Salmonella which is a bacteria found in most raw foods like sea food and meats.
