4. Symptoms of listeria
are similar to having diarrhea. Most people won’t make a big deal out of having diarrhea because they may just take something over-the-counter to stop diarrhea. When you have listeria, the symptoms won’t go away until you get treated for it. Some of the symptoms that you will have after getting diarrhea are fever, headache, loss of balance, and confusion.
Tylenol may help with the headache and fever, but listeria won’t go away. You’ll need to take antibiotics in order to get rid of the bacteria. If you don’t get treatment for listeriosis right away, it can lead to death. Once you realize you have eaten some contaminated food, it’s important to go seek medical help right away. If you know what caused you to get the bacteria, you can throw it away so that no one else in your home gets their hands on it.
