Listeria can cause serious infections or death in the very young and old, and in people with weakened immune systems, according to the health department. The organism can cause stillbirths or miscarriages, as well. Healthy people who are infected may experience symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
