Salmonella in chicken is generally a bigger risk than ecoli in beef, in part because we are exposed to it much less often. Ecoli is extremely common and ubiquitous so it actually takes a pretty big dose of it to make most people seriously ill. You’ve probably “had it” dozens of times, had a runny morning poo and didn’t think of it past that. Salmonella, on the other hand, is much more likely to induce painful cramps, vomiting and extended symptoms with a minor exposure.
