If the infection spreads to the nervous system, symptoms may include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, or convulsions.  Pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms.

The CDC cautions that persons in the high-risk category, including the elderly, those with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women, who experience flu-like symptoms within two months of eating a Listeria contaminated food seek medical care.  Let your physician or health care provider know that you have eaten the recalled melons or any other contaminated food.  This is vital to your health since you can develop listeriosis for up to two months after eating a food contaminated with Listeria.
