On Listeria infections
Foods contaminated by Listeria Monocytogenes may not seem spoiled but can always cause serious and sometimes fatal infections. Anyone who has eaten one of the ice cream products recalled and developed symptoms of Listeria infection should request medical treatment and talk to their doctors of the possible exposure to Listeria.
In addition, anyone who has eaten one of the recalled products should be monitored for symptoms in the coming weeks, as it can take up to 70 days after exposure to Listeria for listeriosis symptoms.
Symptoms of Listeria infection may include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle pain, severe headache and stiff neck. Specific laboratory tests are necessary to diagnose Listeria infections, which can imitate other diseases.
Pregnant women, the elderly, young children and people such as cancer patients who weaken immune systems are particularly at risk of serious illnesses, fatal infections, other complications and death. Although infected pregnant women can only feel light and pseudo-grapple symptoms, their infections can lead to premature delivery, newborns or even mortinity infection.
