We had steamed broccoli with cheese sauce for supper last night. Ed prepared it (a first for him). I'll look in the garbage to see if our broccoli, purchased on Thursday, had any identification marks on it. We are both fine gut-wise today.
According to Mr. Google: Salmonella symptoms typically appear between 6 hours and 6 days after infection, though the onset can sometimes be between 8 and 72 hours.
Aha. Ed bought broccoli heads...not florets. So we are in the clear.
Added: The etymology of Salmonella comes from Daniel Elmer Salmon, an American veterinarian who, along with his colleague Theobald Smith, isolated the bacterium in the late 1800s.
