Symptom of Listeria

Symptoms of a Listeria infection, called listeriosis, usually develop within one to 14 days of exposure but can sometimes take as long as 70 days to develop. They include severe headache, stiff neck, other muscle aches, fatigue, confusion, and loss of balance. Pregnant women can suffer miscarriages and stillbirths even if the expectant mother experiences only mild symptoms.
