Symptoms of listeriosis include severe headache, high fever, stiff neck, and nausea. This disease is especially problematic for pregnant women, since it can cause miscarriages and stillbirth. It can also be very dangerous for the elderly, the very young, those with compromised immune systems, or those with chronic diseases. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.
