The Ministry of Health warns against Listeria, a bacteria present in current foods such as meat, unpasteurized milk and unwashed vegetables. It can cause serious infections, especially in pregnant women, the elderly and those with low immunity.
Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache and muscle pain. In serious cases, listeria can cause sinusitis or anemia.
To protect yourself, it is essential to follow a few simple rules: wash your hands regularly and clean the utensils, separate raw food from the cooked, cook the meat well and keep the products at a temperature less than 5 ° C.
It is also advisable to favor fresh ingredients, to avoid unpasteurized milk and to check the expiration dates. Daily vigilance is necessary to preserve everyone’s health.
