Listeria?

Question

Hello, paranoid pregnant woman here. About a week ago I ate a turkey sandwich while camping...I just wasn't thinking when I ate it.

Anyway, here I am a week later feeling tired, overall just not very good, and last night I was in pain from...ah, let's just call it gastrointestinal distress.

How worried should I really be about Listeria? I left a message for my doctor, but probably won't hear back until Monday.

Answer

In all honestly you should be fine so don't worry so much

Answer

Do you have a fever? You would feel like you have food poisoning if you had listeria. You're most likely fine. Listeria is very rare.

Answer

Definitely call your doctor or advise nurse. It could be a virus.  But you just want to be sure. Hope you feel better soon!

Answer

Listeria isn't rare. Not sure where people got that from any way if you don't have a fever you are probably fine. Listeria poisoning usually tends to express as mild flu like symptoms. Plus listeria is usually contracted from cold dairy items and soft cheeses... It would be safe to say that without a fever you probably just have plain old upset stomach exaggerated because of your pregnancy and your worrying doesn't help. If your temp goes over 100.4 then I would go to an urgent care if you can avoid the ER do so. And call your doctors on call line. Otherwise I wouldn't stress it too much.

Answer

Yes same with me, a week ago is a long time. But I found this 
What are Listeria infection symptoms and signs?
fever,nausea and vomiting,diarrhea,abdominal pain and cramping,back pain.

Answer

I think if it has been a week you are fine and it is probably something else. Sorry you aren't feeling good!
