“About the second day, the hospital and the hospital, they said it’s listeria. And once they figure it out, remember what that was. Realize how deadly that can be. And they start talking about they have to do some scans and to make sure it hasn’t gone to her brain and given her meningitis, which scared the death out me, or to an inflammation of her heart, which also could be, you know, very serious. So the whole thing was really quite scary.”

“People over the age of 65. As we age, our immune systems, are not as robust as they once were. And what can happen is the listeria. The pathogen can cross from your gut into your blood and causes invasive illness.”

“I always say, when in doubt, throw it out. So, if you have deli meat sitting in your in your refrigerator or quite frankly, in your freezer, and you don’t know where it came from, you, you know, I would recommend being cautious, right? Not necessarily risking serious illness."

STORYLINE:
88-year-old Sue Fleming is rethinking her favorite snack — liverwurst — after she fell ill as part of a deadly listeria food poisoning outbreak linked to a recall of 7 million pounds of Boar’s Head deli meats.
“I just want to say it was hell. I’ve never been so sick in all my life and felt so separated from everybody. It was like I was here, and the world was out there. It was strange,” Sue Fleming who was sickened by listeria said.
Sue spent nine days in a hospital and 11 days in a rehabilitation center last month. She and her husband are suing Boar’s Head and Schnuck Markets Inc., which sold the deli meat.
“But the second day, in the hospital, they said it’s listeria. And once I figured it out, remember what that was. Realize how deadly that can be,” Sue’s husband Patrick Fleming said. “And they start talking about they have to do some scans and, to, to make sure it hasn’t gone to her brain and give her meningitis, which scared the death out of me. Or to inflammation of her heart, which also could be, you know, very serious. So, the whole thing was really quite scary.”
Three people have died in the listeria outbreak and more than 40 were sickened.
