Listeria can cause serious infections in young children, the elderly, pregnant women and adults with weakened immune systems, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Listeria infections during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, early delivery, or a life threatening infection for the newborn.
Infections typically develop in the bloodstream and sometimes affect other parts of the body including the bones, joints, and parts of abdomen and chest. Symptoms such as headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, convulsions, fever and muscle aches usually begin 1-4 weeks after eating contaminated food, the CDC says.
