What Happens if You Eat Cheese With Listeria?
You can get listeriosis, which according to the USDA, causes headaches, fever, muscle aches, confusion and diarrhea among other symptoms.
Once you have listeriosis, it can then turn into invasive listeriosis which can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks for it to do major damage to your internal organs and lead to death.
The mortality rate of invasive listeriosis is around 30%, according to the World Health Organization.
