发帖数: 7132 | 2 Who is most at risk?
Listeriosis primarily affects the elderly, pregnant women, newborns, and
people with weakened immune systems. In the U.S., an estimated 1,600 people
become seriously ill each year; approximately 16% of these illnesses result
in death. Cervical infections caused by listeriosis in pregnant women may
result in spontaneous abortion during the second or third trimesters or
stillbirth.
What are the symptoms of listeriosis?
The early symptoms of listeriosis are similar to those of the flu with
nausea, muscle aches and a high fever. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as
diarrhea may also appear. The length of time between infection and the
appearance of symptoms is unknown.
How can I protect myself?
Recommendations for keeping food safe from listeria are similar to those
used to protect against other foodborne illnesses. Remember to cook meat to
the USDA’s recommended temperatures and to wash all raw vegetables and
fruit. Keep your fridge below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and eat leftovers within
three to four days, the CDC says.
I’ve eaten a cantaloupe! What should I do?
Your risk of developing listeriosis is extremely low, even if the cantaloupe
you ate was contaminated. If you do not have any symptoms you’re most
likely in the clear. However, if you’re in one of the high risk groups and
showed symptoms up to two months after eating a possibly contaminated
product, contact your doctor. | g*******a
