Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If you have a salmonella infection, your diarrhea typically will have a strong odor. Sometimes you may also have blood in the stool. The illness often lasts for just a few days.
Detailed explanation-2: -Salmonella is a type of bacteria responsible for the majority of food-related illnesses in the UK; it’s odourless, tasteless, and invisible to the naked eye.
