Listeria outbreak--symptoms and what you should do

Listeria  food poisoning—what are the symptoms and what should you do?
What are the symptoms of Listeriosis (listeria)?  Symptoms vary but may include fever, muscle aches, nausea and/or diarrhea, headache, confusion, stiff neck, loss of balance and convulsions. 

What should a person do if he exhibits the symptoms of Listeria?  See your doctor. Since most healthy people recover on their own, the doctor may or may not prescribe medication.  For at-risk people showing symptoms, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics.   http://www.cdc.gov/nczved/divisions/dfbmd/diseases/listeriosis/
