Symptoms of a Listeria Infection
Symptoms of a Listeria infection include high fever, stiff neck, other muscle soreness or stiffness, gastrointestinal symptoms, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. Usually, these symptoms appear within 24 hours of exposure but sometimes can take as long as 70 days to develop.
