You may be thinking, why exactly is this serious? What makes the Listeria monocytogenes dangerous? While a Listeria contamination won’t make your food look or smell bad, it can make you seriously ill. If you eat food contaminated by Listeria, you’ll get symptoms like vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle pains, headaches, and a stiff neck. If you feel like someone might have a Listeria infection, you need to get them checked by a doctor immediately. They may need to do certain tests because a Listeria infection can look like other illnesses.
Pregnant women, the elderly, little kids, and anyone who has a compromised immune system need to be extra careful. Pregnant women, for instance, need to be cautious since this can be dangerous for her baby.
So, if you’ve recently eating this brand of enchilada and find yourself not feeling well, make sure to seek a doctor immediately. Observe how you’re feeling since it can take up to 70 days from the time of consumption before the Listeria infection symptoms start showing up.
By spreading the word, we can all help keep each other safe. Let’s look out for each other and stay healthy. Keep safe everyone!
