What is a listeria infection?
According to the Mayo Clinic , Listeria infection is a foodborne bacterial illness that can be very serious for pregnant women, people older than 65 and people with weakened immune systems. It's most commonly caused by eating improperly processed deli meats and unpasteurized milk products.
Healthy people rarely become ill from listeria infection, but the disease can be fatal to unborn babies, newborns and people with weakened immune systems. Prompt antibiotic treatment can help curb the effects of listeria infection.
What are the symptoms of a listeria infection
The Mayo Clinic lists the symptoms as:
- Fever
- Chills
- Muscle aches
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
If the listeria infection spreads to your nervous system, signs and symptoms can include:
- Headache
- Stiff neck
- Confusion or changes in alertness
- Loss of balance
- Convulsions
