It is therefore recommended that consumers consult a doctor as soon as possible if they experience a fever, headache or body aches. It is then necessary to inform the practitioner that potentially contaminated food has been ingested. Listeriosis can take a particularly dangerous form in pregnant women and the elderly or immunocompromised people.
