Beware of listeria

A bacteria called listeria is causing several high profile sabra recall food recalls.  These bacteria can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea and cramps. However there has been no reported illness related to contamination and this information is presented according to the food and drug administration.

Those people with listriosis and sabra hummus recall will get better on their own but listeria can invade the blood stream, brain and spinal cord in some people whose immune system are too weak to fight the bacteria. Only 20% of the invasive cases of listeria may prove fatal.

The people who get serious listeria sabra hummus infections are pregnant women along with their newborns, people who are older than 64 and people with weakened immune systems like patients with cancer and HIV. Listeria can cause miscarriages and pre term labor.

hummus recall can also lead to meningitis which is basically an inflammation of the membrane around the brain and spinal cord along with encephalitis which is an inflammation of the brain. In reality officially listeria sickens 1,600 Americans a year.

Due to listeria sabra recall most people become ill with diarrhea, cramps and nausea but never see a doctor. They choose instead to suffer at home and use over the counter medications. Listeria is the third cause of death from food poisoning and let me inform you that a total of 48 million Americans suffer from some kind of food poisoning.

Some food pose a greater risk of listeria and the foods that carry a higher risk of listeria contamination are beef, raw sprouts, raw milk, soft cheese, deli meats, hot dogs and smoked sea food.
