Listeria can cause serious and, in some instances, fatal infections in young children, elderly adults, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of Listeria infection include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. It can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.
