Symptoms of Listeria Food Poisoning
Listeria monocytogenes is a type of bacteria that can cause serious and sometime fatal food poisoning illnesses. In adults, the symptoms of an infection may not appear for up to 70 days.
The symptoms of a Listeria infection may include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, convulsions, and diarrhea.
Among pregnant women, an infection with Listeria can cause a miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth, or a life-threatening infection of the newborn baby.
