What are the symptoms of salmonella that was caused from the peanut butter?

What if you have been consuming the contaminated peanut butter for a long time, they are saying the contamination could go back as far as 2 years. I have had several health problems for about as long as the two years. We averaged about 2 jars a month. Wouldn't this bacterial infection cause health issues in large doses?

Firstly, it depends on the strain of salmonella involved. There is one strain of salmonella out there that can cause an arthritis-like disease and this may not be discovered for 2 years. However, in most of the food-borne illness cases reported, the salmonella strain involved results in accute symptoms such as diarrhea and vomitting that usually lasts for 1-3 days. In a larger dosage of salmonella, the symptoms would probably be more accute and may last for several days longer (up to a week?). The main issue with salmonella food-poisoning is the uptake of fluids (as it is hard to retain adequate fluids whilst throwing up etc.) some people (usually the elderly or young) require hospitalisation for rehydration. Hope this helps!

You would have had salmonella already if the peanut butter was contaminated. You'd be so sick, you'd be admitted to the hospital.
