Listeria
March 4, 2024
Listeria is a foodborne illness that mostly affects pregnant women. It causes gastrointestinal symptoms but can spread beyond the intestines and become invasive. This can lead to serious complications and death in non-pregnant individuals, fetuses, and newborns. Unpasteurized dairy products and prepared store-bought foods are common sources of transmission. Knowing how to prevent listeria can help you avoid this dangerous foodborne illness.
