Listeria Food Poisoning & Pregnancy
According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), pregnant women are 20 times more likely to contract listeriosis than other healthy adults. In fact, nearly 20% of listeriosis cases reported are in expecting mothers.
However, pregnant women do not typically exhibit telltale signs of the illness, and usually only report mild, flu-like symptoms. Instead, babies of mothers with listeria food poisoning most often bear the brunt of the sickness. Sadly, between 50 and 90% of infected fetuses that are delivered prematurely do not survive.
