\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Listeria is a bacterium that can cause a number of symptoms. The symptoms of listeria are unusual because they could cause a person to not pay attention to it and have it for a long time. The longer you have symptoms, the worse listeria will be. Once you know the symptoms, you can take the necessary steps to get the right treatment for it before it\u2019s too late. If you wait too long, you can die from it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people who die from listeria fall in high-risk groups, such as pregnant women and individuals with weak immune systems. The foods you eat can give you listeria, including raw and unpasteurized milk, smoked seafood, and hot dogs. These are the eight most unusual symptoms of listeria to watch out for if you ever think you have it. Even if you don\u2019t have listeria, you should still seek medical attention to be on the safe side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Flu-like symptoms <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

occur in pregnant women and individuals who are in the high-risk group. When they have these symptoms, they may just think they\u2019re getting sick and that over-the-counter medication will work. When you have the flu, you will get better if you take medicine before it gets worse, but with listeria<\/a>, the symptoms won\u2019t get better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you go to the ER or to your primary care doctor, he or she can take tests to see what you really have. Once you are diagnosed with listeria, you can get treatment right away. Since this bacterium can cause death, if you fall into the high-risk group, you may need to be placed in the hospital until you get better. Medical professionals can watch you on a regular basis so that you don\u2019t have any complications. They can also give you tips on how to prevent getting listeria a second time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Confusion <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

is an unusual symptom to have when you have listeria. When the bacterium goes unnoticed, it travels to the nervous system<\/a> and can cause complications. When you\u2019re confused, you may not know where you are. For example, if you drive a vehicle, you may get lost even if you have an idea of where you\u2019re going. You may need assistance in order to get home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A medical team will take you to the hospital to examine you to see what\u2019s going on. A confused person will not want to go to seek help. He or she just wants to go home, but the hospital can do blood tests and X-rays to see what\u2019s really going on. Once it\u2019s found you have listeria, you may be able to go home after a prescription for antibiotics is written. It\u2019s important to take the medicine as prescribed. Since you\u2019re confused, you will need someone to administer the drug for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Diarrhea <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

occurs when you have listeria. Most individuals believe that when they have diarrhea it must have been something they ate the day before. For example, eating a lot of spicy foods can cause diarrhea<\/a>. Drinking a lot of coffee can also cause diarrhea. Individuals should know that if they are having diarrhea for a long period of time something is wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pharmacist can suggest over-the-counter medicines, but the medicines won\u2019t work with listeria. If diarrhea becomes so bad, the individual will have to stay home from work. Once it gets that bad, seeking medical treatment is important. Diarrhea shouldn\u2019t be a long-term issue. Your primary care doctor can take blood tests to let you know if you have any serious illnesses. If you don\u2019t get treated soon, you may need to be hospitalized. You will more than likely stay in the hospital until it goes away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Paralysis and tremors <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

are unusual symptoms of listeria. This only occurs if it spreads to the brain. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to seek treatment early once you know you notice unusual problems with your body. When you become paralyzed, you won\u2019t be able to do things you used to enjoy doing. You will need a caretaker 24\/7 to help you with daily tasks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you fall into the high-risk group and you notice changes in your body, you need to seek medical attention immediately. It doesn\u2019t take long for listeria to do damage to the brain. In fact, symptoms of listeria occur between one to three days of being exposed. Also, if you notice that you are having tremors <\/a>and you\u2019re not exposed to the cold or haven\u2019t had it before, that should alert you that something isn\u2019t right. By getting treatment right away, will keep you from having additional medical problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Muscle aches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

happen with you have listeria. If you exercise or lift heavy items, the muscle aches may go unnoticed. By putting topical ointments on the affected area may not work as well since you have listeria. In fact, muscle aches may get worse. Muscle aches can get so bad that they\u2019ll prevent you from doing daily tasks because they\u2019ll hurt whenever you move. Over-the-counter medicines won\u2019t work either, such as Ibuprofen<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only antibiotics will do the trick when it comes to dealing with listeria. The muscle aches can get so bad that it makes you bedridden. When this happens, it\u2019s time to see a doctor. The doctor will place you in the hospital for a few days. While at the hospital, the listeria will be treated. You may not be completely clear from listeria when you leave the hospital, but it will be under control. A written prescription for antibiotics will be given prior to leaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. Headaches <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

are unusual symptoms to have when you have listeria. Every headache <\/a>that you have won\u2019t go away with aspirin and Tylenol. Some headaches need to be treated with something stronger that only a doctor can prescribe. The headaches with listeria can get so bad that they can prevent you from working or doing simple tasks. As stated before, high-risk individuals who are susceptible to this bacterium may have severe headaches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On over-the-counter medications, it states that headaches that last longer than a week, seek medical attention. It\u2019s important you seek medical attention if the headache doesn\u2019t go away after taking over-the-counter medications. The longer you take to get treated for listeria, the harder it will be to get rid of it. Persistent headaches can cause other issues as stated earlier like paralysis. Even if the doctor says it\u2019s nothing, seek a second opinion from another physician. Your health is more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

7. Loss of balance <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

is another unusual symptom of listeria to watch out for. Having a loss of balance <\/a>can cause others around you to think of other things, such as being drunk when in fact you have listeria. You don\u2019t know you have the bacterium at the time. You could place the loss of balance on a number of things, such as it is a side effect from a medication you\u2019re taking. Talk to your doctor to see if that is true or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have not lost your balance in the past from taking your prescription medications, then it has to be something else. Ask your doctor to give you tests to see what the underlying cause is. Listeria will be the diagnosis and your doctor will give you the steps needed to get rid of it. The doctor will monitor you and ask you to come in for a follow-up to see if you still have a loss of balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

8. Nausea <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

is one of the other unusual symptoms you will experience with listeria. When you feel nauseated<\/a>, you don\u2019t want to do anything or see any food. When you do try to eat something, you will become more nauseated. The best thing you can do is to go to the ER, so they can do the necessary tests, so you can start to eat something. By not eating, it\u2019s not good for your body. The ER doctor can tell you how you could have gotten listeria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He or she will tell you it came from eating contaminated food. Even if you believe that\u2019s not the case, it\u2019s likely that\u2019s where it came from. The only other way you could have gotten listeria is by not washing your hands or someone else gave you food and they didn\u2019t wash their own hands. Once you figure out what happened, you will need to be more careful about what you eat and how your food is handled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

9. Stiff Neck<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some patients with Listeria find that they develop a stiff neck as a result of the condition. The Listeria<\/a>
bacteria attach to the nervous system, congregating around the neck. The bacteria penetrate the soft
tissue, disrupting all the surrounding physiological structures in the neck. As a result, the patient starts
to experience the onset of neck pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


However, it\u2019s important to note that a stiff neck is a serious concern for the undiagnosed patient.
Stiffness in the cervical spine can indicate infection with the deadly meningitis bacteria, which can cause
complications with brain function and nervous system output, leading to death in the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


If you have a stiff neck, consult your doctor immediately, even if it\u2019s a minor problem. Your doctor will
complete an examination on your neck, and if they suspect a bacterial infection, they\u2019ll order a blood
test. In most cases, the administration of antibiotics clears up the stiff neck issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

10. Convulsions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People who experience Listeria infection musty seek immediate medical treatment. The Listeria bacteria
can become fatal if the disease reaches an advanced stage. If you have the risk profile for Listeria and
the symptoms of the conditions, it\u2019s a good idea to get as early a diagnosis as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Delaying the diagnosis allows the bacteria to spread in the body, worsening your condition. People with
Listeria infection can deteriorate rapidly in the advanced stages of the disease. The early treatment
helps to kill the bacteria before it has a chance to do real damage to your physiology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the patient doesn\u2019t receive early treatment<\/a>, they may experience severe symptoms as the bacteria
invades the nervous system. Infected individuals may notice they start to develop involuntary jerking of
the limbs, and this effect may progress into life-threatening convulsions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


When Listeria bacteria start to cause problems with the central nervous system, the patient is in dire
straits and needs immediate medical assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

11. Fever and Chills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Listeria bacteria create an immune response in the body as the brain detects the invading pathogen.
The first thing the immune system does to combat the bacteria is to turn up the body heat. This action
helps create an inhospitable environment for the bacteria, Preventing its spread and replication in the
body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


To create the fever, the hypothalamus<\/a> signals for the creation of pyrogen proteins. These proteins
attach to receptors in the lower back, causing the central nervous system to increase the temperature
set point for the body. As a result, the body starts to enter a fever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


However, it may take the body some time to catch up to the new temperature set point selected by the
hypothalamus. As a result, the patient may find that they start to experience the onset of chills, even
though they have a high body temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


As the body catches up to the new temperature set point, they begin to notice the subsiding of the chills
and a return to fever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

12. Pregnancy Complications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pregnant women that contract Listeria infection is at high risk of complications emerging with the baby\u2019s
development. In severe cases, the child may experience genetic damage, resulting in stillbirth and
miscarriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Fortunately, if the expecting mother gets the right treatment fast, the baby shouldn\u2019t experience any
developmental problems, leading to a normal, healthy childbirth. However, some women might mistake
the symptoms of Listeria for the flu or another disease, and they fail to seek treatment in the first week
of the illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


As the bacteria spread in the body, it disrupts the hormonal system and metabolism<\/a>, leading to
problems with the pregnancy. If left undiagnosed and untreated, those pregnant women may
experience an unfavorable outcome for their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, congenital disabilities, stillbirth, and miscarriages are rare, and most women seek treatment in
the first few days after receiving the infection. The doctor will prescribe you antibiotics to kill the Listeria
bacteria, and you should feel better in a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

13. Fatigue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Patients that develop Listeria infection feel symptoms of fatigue<\/a> as the bacteria infect their bodies. When
the body experiences illness, it ramps up your immune system, preparing to fend off the invading
pathogens. Mounting the immune assault on the Listeria bacteria drains your energy, and you end up
feeling fatigued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The brain directs energy away for less critical systems to protect the vital organs during the bacterial
assault on your body. As the body starts to recover, with the help of medication and rest, you\u2019ll notice
your energy levels slowly return to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


If you\u2019re feeling fatigued, don\u2019t try and fight it; take the time to get some rest. When you rest, you help
the immune system conserve and expend energy in its battle against the disease. If you try to exert
yourself while feeling exhausted and sick, you\u2019ll worsen your condition. As a result, you end up with a
longer recovery and the chance of complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

14. Risk of Misdiagnosis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Listeria shares many symptoms in common with other medical problems. It\u2019s common for doctors to
misdiagnose patients suffering from the infection with other conditions. The doctor may need to
conduct several tests on your blood work to find the problem affecting your physiology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Sometimes, the blood work results might not provide the physician with all the necessary results to
finalize their diagnosis. Since blood work doesn\u2019t give them the data, the physician will have to look at
alternative methods. If your doctor is still uncertain about what\u2019s causing your infection, they may send
you for a spinal tap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The spinal tap collects intra-spinal fluid, sending it to a lab for testing. Typically, these tests are so
thorough that they will pick up the Listeria, and your doctor can confirm their diagnosis<\/a>. If your doctor
does misdiagnose you, and you don\u2019t feel any better after 24 to 36-hours, go back to them for another
checkup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
