How to Kill Salmonella Naturopathically

Salmonella is a type of bacteria encountered in chicken, fish, poultry or eggs, or is carried sometimes by turtles or birds. In certain parts of the country, salmonella is responsible for enteric diseases, which are diseases that enter through the mouth or intestinal tract as a result of being exposed to corrupted food, water, feces or vomit. Currently scientists have found strains of bacteria which occur naturally that can kill salmonella; yet further tests just need to be conducted before making such bacteria accessible in any way to the public. In the meantime, you can kill salmonella in you own home via naturopathic means.

Instructions

• 1

  Cooking your food thoroughly can kill salmonella, but you can't tell just by looking at it. Purchase a digital food thermometer and measure your foods internal temperature. For example, beef, veal and lamb much reach a minimum of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), poultry must reach a minimum of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

• 2

  Use the planet's most natural cleaning and killing agent: hydrogen peroxide. It contains just water and oxygen. Purchase an opaque spray bottle and fill it with a mixture of 50 percent water and 50 percent hydrogen peroxide. Use it in the kitchen to kill salmonella on cutting boards and counters.

• 3

  Buy a gallon of distilled white vinegar and fill a separate spray bottle with that. After spraying each area with the solution of hydrogen peroxide, follow up with a few squirts of vinegar. Rinsing is not necessary.
