Symptoms of Listeriosis
Early symptoms of listeriosis include nausea and diarrhea but keep in mind that symptoms can materialize up to 70 days after exposure. Due to the bacteria's infection and incubation period, it can be difficult to identify where the infection came from. More serious symptoms of listeriosis include a stiff neck, high fever, severe headache, muscle aches, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps.
