You have salmonellosis

Salmonellosis is the disease caused by the Salmonella bacterium. Typically this is confirmed with a stool sample test. The side effects of salmonellosis include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps, but many other sicknesses and diseases also cause diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. In persons with poor underlying health or weakened immune systems, Salmonella can invade the bloodstream and cause life-threatening infections. Lab tests will prove whether or not that Salmonella is the cause of the illness depends. These tests are sometimes not performed unless the laboratory is instructed specifically to look for the organism. Once Salmonella has been identified, further testing can determine its specific type, and which antibiotics could be used to treat it.  If you or your loved one has experienced these symptoms, you are advised to go see your doctor.

The Salmonella was caused by the peanut butter you ate.

We must prove that your salmonellosis came from this particular outbreak. The type of salmonella found in Peter Pan peanut butter and Great Value peanut butter is Salmonella Tennessee. In order to prove that you have been infected with Salmonella Tennessee, your stool sample needs to undergo additional testing to see if it matches the other infected victims of this outbreak.
