Symptoms that should alert
These products should not be consumed, but discarded or returned to the store for reimbursement. Otherwise, they can cause headaches, fever, body aches and sometimes digestive disorders (diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, etc.). The incubation period can last “from a few days to several weeks (on average 10 to 28 days depending on the clinical forms)”, specifies the Ministry of Health.
Neurological complications (meningitis, encephalitis) may occur. This is why it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as possible if you think you are concerned. Antibiotic treatment may then be prescribed. Note that some people are asymptomatic and that the risks remain even several weeks after eating the meat. So be careful.
