Contaminated people can develop fever (more or less strong and sometimes feverish peaks), headaches, digestive disorders (diarrhea, nausea, vomiting). It can happen that neurological complications (meningitis, encephalitis) occur. In case of symptoms, it is advisable to call your doctor to see the measures to be taken.
The people most likely to develop a severe form of listeriosis are pregnant women (this is why some products are prohibited during pregnancy), people over 80 years of age and people with cancer. or hemopathy, dialysis patients, insulin-dependent diabetics … and anyone who is immunosuppressed.
