Dude that sucks. I always tell people that im imune to that because ive never caught it before. And im always handleing wild reptiles and birds. Ever since i was 4 ive always been out catching different things. Haha even eating raw eggs. Did you see a doctor and thats who told u what it was? If so how long did they say it would take? Hope its not too long.

Yep. Doc confirmed.
I've had it for a week and a half, and she said it doesn't seem like a bad case, since it's just stomach/body ache, and not vomiting anymore. So I should be good in about a week- but NO mouth siphoning!!!!
Here's a thread from another member who became very ill after working on her tanks.

You should consider wearing gloves when working in your tanks.

nope... doc said if it was a worse case, then I would get antibiotics.. but just refrain from vomiting if I can, and lots of (non fishtank) water.
Thats scary stuff! I dont know how much fish tank water I have ingested over the years...Been lucky so far. Best of luck to you
My kid picked it up at school, hes in second grade. It sucked he had bloody diarrhea and had to stay home for a week from school. Why are you using your mouth to start a syphon? I pump my up and down to get it going, they even have little syphon starters out. Pick one up! Hope you get better soon, salmonella sucks! Believe me I know!

I've tried the up and down method.. the blowing into method.
I just need to get a starter. lol.
I don't have anything poo related thank god.
Yea he never vomited just bloody runny poo whichis scary for a 7 year old. We had to get a sample and have a lab confirm it. Please do get a bulb starter so your not putting that yucky stuff in your mouth anymore.
