'Don't kiss or snuggle backyard poultry,' CDC warns in salmonella alert

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning backyard poultry farmers that their chickens may be linked to a growing salmonella outbreak.

The notice of investigation, posted Thursday, said 163 people are confirmed to have been sickened across 43 states.

While none have died, a third of those sickened were children under 5 years of age, the agency said.

The CDC warns that there are likely many more cases as few people are tested for salmonella, a bacterial infection that in most people resolves on its own in a week or less after causing diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps.

People younger than 5 or older than 65 are likelier to experience more severe illness and are at increased risk of hospitalization, the CDC says.
