What are the symptoms of Listeria?

For many people, listeria has no symptoms or only causes mild symptoms over a few days.

The NHS states that these symptoms are typically:

  • Having a high temperature of 38C or above
  • Aches and pains
  • Chills
  • Feeling or being sick
  • Diarrhoea

However, they did add that if you are pregnant then you may also suffer from a stomach ache or notice your baby move less than usual.

This is because babies with listeriosis may also "be irritable and feed less than usual."
