A statement on the Food Standard Authority of Ireland (FSAI) website warns: “In rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications. Some people are more vulnerable to Listeria monocytogenes infections, including pregnant women, babies, and people with weakened immune systems, including the elderly. The incubation period (time between initial infection and first symptoms appearing) is on average three weeks but can range between three and 70 days,” reports The Mirror.
The HSE states that one of the most frequent causes of food poisoning is Listeria monocytogenes.
Food poisoning is characterised by the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, which may contain blood or mucus, cramping in the stomach, pain in the stomach, tiredness and lack of energy, loss of appetite, fever, aching muscles, and chills, reports The Mirror.
Food poisoning treatment
Usually, you may indulge your child or yourself at home. Until the symptoms have subsided, remain at home.
Take a break and make an effort to consume a lot of water, even if you can just sip. Dehydration can be avoided in this way, reports The Mirror.
