The first signs and symptoms of Listeria include.
Fever.
Chills.
Muscle aches.
Nausea.
Diarrhea.
After eating foods contaminated with Listeria most people get sick within 24 to 48 hours.
Although some people may not get sick until 3 to 4 days after they have eaten Listeria contaminated food.
If you ate food that was contaminated with Listeria you should go to the doctor for treatment although in most cases Listeria goes away on it's own but going to the doctor is a good idea just to be safe.
Seek medical attention if you have a fever and other symptoms of possible listeriosis, such as fatigue and muscle aches, within two months after eating possibly contaminated food.
To treat Listeria at home you should drink plenty of water, rest and drink other clear liquids to help flush the Listeria out of your system and keep you hydrated.
In most cases Listeria goes away on it's own but some people may require medical treatment.
Listeria does go away on it's own in most cases although some people may have complications and need treatment.
Listeria can grow and spread in the fridge unlike some other bacteria.
Listeria in food is killed by cooking the food to a high enough temperature.
In order to kill Listeria in food the food must be cooked all the way through and at least 145 F to 165 F depending on the food you're cooking.
Listeria in food is not very common and the good news is Listeria in food is very rare and only there are only 0.1 to 10 cases per 1 million people per year depending on the countries and regions of the world.
It's very unlikely for someone to get Listeria.
Only around 1,600 people out of the billions of people on earth get Listeria each year and only around 260 of those people die from it each year.
The most common way to get Listeria is eating unpasteurized milk and dairy products and improperly processed deli meats.
Listeria can be spread to people by several different methods.
Eating food contaminated with the bacteria, such as through raw (unpasteurized) milk or contaminated vegetables, is often a source for cases.
The bacteria may be passed from mother to fetus during pregnancy or directly to the newborn at the time of birth.
Listeria is considered worse than Salmonella as Listeria causes the most deaths in people when compared to Salmonella.
However Salmonella does tend to be more common and cause more outbreaks than Listeria.
When you have Salmonella your poop will usually be in diarrhea form and the diarrhea may also have a bit of blood in it as well.
As food passes through the digestive system, a yellow-green fluid called bile that helps digest food changes color, resulting in a stool that is light to dark brown.
However, when an infection, such as Salmonella, causes diarrhea, food and feces pass through the digestive tract quickly before changing to a brown color.
Salmonella actually has no smell so you cannot smell the Salmonella in the food.
You cannot see or smell Salmonella so it can be hard to know if food has Salmonella.
E. coli and Salmonella are very similar as Salmonella actually evolved from E. coli but they are not the exact same bacteria.
The main difference between E Coli and salmonella is that E. coli is a type of commensal bacteria that commonly lives in the lower intestine of warm-blooded animals whereas Salmonella is a facultative, intracellular pathogen in both warm-blooded and cold-blooded animals.
E. coli is classified as being in the genus Escherichia (named after its discoverer Theodor Escherich), family Enterobacteriaceae, order Enterobacteriales, class Gammaproteobacteria, phylum Proteobacteria.
To flush E. coli out of your system drink plenty of water throughout the day and also be sure to empty your bladder when you urinate.
You can also flush E. coli out of your system by eating garlic.
Cultures across the world have long recognized garlic for its preventive and curative powers.
Research has found that garlic can be an effective treatment against many forms of bacteria, including Salmonella and Escherichia coli (E. coli).
When E. coli gets in your body it creates a toxin that can damage the lining of your small intestine and when this happens it can lead to diarrhea with blood and vomiting as well as bad stomach cramps.
After being infected with E. coli it can sometimes cause permanent damage.
Those who contract gastroenteritis from drinking water contaminated with E coli are at an increased risk of developing high blood pressure, kidney problems and heart disease in later life.
The first signs of E. coli are severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (often bloody), and vomiting.
The long term effects of E. coli are kidney problems, possible kidney disease, heart disease and high blood pressure.
When a person has a more severe strain of E. Coli it can damage the heart and lead to heart disease if left untreated.
The E. coli O157:H7 strain belongs to a group of E. coli that produces a powerful toxin that damages the lining of the small intestine.
This can cause bloody diarrhea.
E. Coli can in rare cases go to your brain if the E. Coli gets more severe and is left untreated.
E. Coli does have the ability to get to your brain but the good news is that it rarely happens.
E. Coli can sometimes cause some people to experience lower back pain.
And certain strains of E. coli can also cause symptoms including diarrhea, stomach pain and cramps and low-grade fever.
E. Coli does sometimes cause a bit of weight loss in some people although the weight loss with E. Coli is usually not significant.
When you have E. Coli it feels like you have stomach cramping or the stomach flu including sometimes a fever and severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (often bloody), and vomiting.
Symptoms of E. coli infection include severe diarrhea (often bloody) and abdominal cramps.
Most people infected with E. coli do not have a fever or vomiting.
E. Coli is not contagious like a virus is but you can pass E. Coli on to another person by hand and mouth contact.
Anyone who has had an E. coli O157 infection should stay away from work or school until they have been completely free of symptoms for 48 hours.
Most people are no longer infectious after about a week, although some people, particularly children, may carry E. coli O157 for several months after they have got better.
You likely got E. Coli through undercooked meat, contaminated meat, or contaminated water or drinks.
Most people get E. Coli through eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water.
E. Coli can occur through eating undercooked hamburger, raw beef, raw ground beef, undercooked chicken or other meats.
Yogurt is good for eating when you have E. Coli and the Yogurt may help to get rid of the E. Coli.
When you feel like eating again, start with small amounts of food.
To prevent dehydration, drink plenty of fluids.
Choose water and other clear liquids until you feel better.
Soda, fruit juices, and sports drinks have too much sugar and not enough of the important electrolytes that are lost during diarrhea.
Soda Crackers, rice, eggs and toast are foods that can help get rid of E. Coli.
Drink clear liquids.
Drink plenty of clear liquids, including water, clear sodas and broths, gelatin, and juices to help flush E. Coli out of your system.
Foods you should avoid if you have E. Coli include undercooked meats, undercooked hamburger; unpasteurized milk, apple juice or cider; and soft cheeses made from raw milk.
To prevent E. Coli keep any raw meat, poultry, and seafood separate from vegetables, fruits, breads, and other foods that have already been prepared for eating.
Use only pasteurized milk, dairy, and juice products.
In most cases it takes between 5 to 10 days for E. Coli to go away.
Symptoms of E Coli usually last 5 to 10 days.
People with mild symptoms usually recover on their own without treatment.
