Food Poisoning Listeria Lawyer

In some cases of food poisoning, your symptoms may be gone in a couple of hours. Though for the unlucky few, exposure to food that has been contaminated may lead to a bacterial infection known as Listeria. Those who have been exposed to the bacteria will see symptoms begin a few days after they've eaten contaminated food, but it can take up to 30 days or more before the first signs and symptoms of infection begin. Listeria symptoms may include but are not limited to neck stiffness, headaches, confusion, fever, convulsions, loss of balance, and muscle aches.  Women who are pregnant can experience flu-like symptoms, including muscle aches, fever, exhaustion, and fatigue. In some cases, listeria infections during pregnancy may lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn.

Foods that may cause you to be exposed to listeria are:

  • Soft cheeses such as queso fresco
  • Melons
  • Sprouts
  • Hot dogs
  • Deli meats
  • Pâtés
  • Smoked seafood
  • Unpasteurized milk

At Morgan & Morgan, we understand how the effects of food poisoning can lead to devastating and unexpected life-altering experiences. You and your loved ones should never have to worry whether or not the food you consume will cause you harm. However, when the unthinkable happens, we believe you should know the steps in identifying whether or not you’ve been affected by food poisoning and what you can do to make sure those who caused you needless suffering are held accountable for their negligent actions.
