The Very Old and Very Young are Affected the Most by Listeria

July 8, 2010 on 12:42 pm | By | In News and Society | Comments Off

The very young and the very old are often susceptible to many more issues with their health than the rest of the population (with the exception of those who have immune deficiency issues). The reason for this is that in the case of the very young, their immune systems are still developing, in the case of the very old, their immune systems are failing. That is where bacteria like listeria does the most damage. In a healthy person, they might experience symptoms associated with the flu. However, with the very old or very young, it can cause death or severe illness.
