Symptoms Of Listeria

Nausea

After you are infected with listeria, you may find you feel rather nauseous. This is one of the first symptoms to show up following infection. Some patients describe it as feeling as if their stomach is rolling, spinning, or heaving, and others find it feels like a painful cramp. It occurs because the body is trying to rid itself of the bacteria. You may feel a lot of stomach upset, especially when you try to eat food or drink water. The queasiness may feel so bad patients with listeria do not eat well for several days. However, not all those who get nausea will simply feel queasy, and in some cases, patients may experience vomiting.
