Fear of Listeriosis....

for 16 år siden 0 +0 / -0 1153

Diva,

Here are the signs and symptoms of Listeriosis:

Listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea. Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. Infected pregnant women may experience only a mild, flu-like illness, however, infections during pregnancy can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn, or even stillbirth.

If you start to show any of the signs we suggest you go to your doctor right away.

hi diva,

i've been freaked out by the listeriosis thing too and also ate some of the recalled stuff.

but the one thing that has calmed me down is that the only people who will be seriously affected are people with weakened immune systems (the elderly or children) - i know that doesn't totally make it less scary, but even if you did get it you would be okay. also the recall was widened as a precaution but i don't think many of those products are definitely affected. apparently listeriosis is somewhat common (though not to this extent of severity) and we have all had it at one time or another.

i know this doesn't help but i think telling yourself this and challenging the fear with these "counter-arguments" can be helpful. i know for me as soon as i'm worried about something i begin over-analyzing everything i feel and linking it to what i'm worried about. ie, i feel nauseous, maybe i've got the listeriosis. it's definitely quite scary and makes you more aware of how our food is handled and so on. but just don't let yourself get caught up with the thoughts. i think everyone is a little anxious about it, not to mention people who already have anxiety issues. but on the plus side we have more tools to counter the fears!

take care!

Ok so now this is me being panicky and silly. I am afraid of the Listeriosis thing.

Problem is I know for a fact I ate some meat products that were on the recall list from the Toronto plant of Maple leaf est. 97B. I ate potentially contaminated meat products that were recalled for potentially killing people!!! I found this out about an hour ago. I was already having a not so good day but this is just sending me over the top!

Another problem is I have felt nauseous al day since I woke up. Then an hour ago I find out I ate contaminated products! Now, call me hysterical but al this put together freaks me out and makes me want to reach for my anxiety medecine, at this moment I don't care that they are addictive I am slightly freaking out!

I am so scared!!! I hate all things related to diseases. Plus I have a very sensitive digestive track and catch every food or digestive bug around pretty much every year. So I AM FREAKED OUT!!!!

Ok, breathe... I guess all I can do is see if the nausea worsens or passes...I called the health line from around here they told me I am most likely find and what symptoms to watch and when I shoukd go see a doctor if I ever need to. I felt like ok he seems calm all is well, He seems confident enough that I am fine. Then right before he hung up he said: I hope everything goes well for you....". Then I felt panicked. What kind of a godbye is that?

Anyway, I will go now and try and relax...I feel like a ticking timebomb full of nasty bacteria! Man I hate this. This summer is bad to me bad! I can't wait for it to be over! But then I have to go back to work an school And that is a nother whole new set of problems!

Argh! I will be ok, thank for letting me freak out here where I won't be lloked at like a raving lunatic!
