Back to the original topic---what would the treatment be if an individual contacted salmonella? Does it just have to run its course or is thier an antibiotic used to wipe it out. (No pun intended)

It can be self limiting or treated with Cipro (antibiotic).

Ok, I'm going to leave this one alone. Got me freaked out now wondering if it can be transmitted through feeders cause I never wash my hands after digging thru thier colonies. (Just kidding)
Thanks to all those who chimed in.

One of the most important bacteria that are transmitted by insects include Campylobacter spp. [118] and Salmonella spp. [119].

Also: Transmission and Retention of Salmonella enterica by Phytophagous Hemipteran Insects
and: Insects play a role in the spread of food-born pathogens on crops

I stopped searching past the first page, so there is likely more.
