A “Perfect Storm” in Banquet is a consumer response to Salmonella exposure. The severity of the “Perfect Storm” or consumer response to Salmonella exposure can range from no response to infection to mild illness to moderate illness (doctor visit) to severe illness (hospital short stay) to very severe illness (hospital long stay) to death depending on the random occurrence of multiple risk factors, their levels, and how they interact.
