Listeria Lawyer – Listeria Symptoms
Listeria causes flu-like symptoms and includes fever, body ache, headaches, stiffness in the neck, loss of balance, disorientation, and diarrhea. Symptoms usually arise twenty-four hours after ingestion. Pregnant women are especially at risk, as ingestion of Listeria can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, and a possible life-threatening infection of the newborn.
