Symptoms Of Listeria

Tremors And Convulsions

Tremors and convulsions mean a person has a much more severe version of listeria. It will vary from patient to patient. Some individuals may just notice their hand shakes slightly now and then, or their entire body may twitch. The main similarity between all of these symptoms is the patient's muscles are moving without the patient trying to control them. Tremors and convulsions are signs listeria has started to affect the nerves. It is often accompanied by disorientation, seizures, and other symptoms of encephalitis. If a person with listeria is experiencing involuntary muscle contractions, it is important to get medical treatment as soon as possible. When the listeria infection has reached this state, the patient is in danger of going into septic shock due to the widespread infection, and are at risk for brain damage.
