People usually report symptoms one to four weeks after eating food contaminated with listeria. Public health officials are continuing to interview infected people about the foods they ate the month before they got sick. The “significance” of this connection to Florida is still under investigation, the CDC said. A listeria infection can cause a range of symptoms including headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions, in addition to fever and muscle aches.

In severe cases, they can also experience headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and seizures. In some cases, however, infection can result in detrimental effects to the newborn such as miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery or life-threatening infection. Common symptoms depend on whether the infected person is pregnant. For those who are not pregnant, common symptoms are comparable to those of a flu: fever, muscle aches and fatigue. In the wake of the outbreak, it is important to know what listeria is, how infection is spread, what common symptoms are and how to protect yourself.
