I bought snow crab from IGA in ST Eustache two weeks ago. I have 5 big packs in stock. I had crab again last night. A strong ammonia smell is released in addition to a bad taste. I understood why I have been sick for a week.
Stomach aches, stomachaches, diarrhea, severe fatigue, nausea, chills. I still have symptoms even though this time I only ate a few pieces of crabs before throwing everything away. I have notified the IGA I am meeting with a manager tomorrow. I will bring all the crabs I have left for analysis. They take it very seriously. Thank you

Symptoms caused by this organism can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea. However, in rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications, such as meningitis.
Some people are more vulnerable to listeria infections, including those over 65 years of age, pregnant women and their unborn babies, babies less than one month old and people with weakened immune systems.
In case you are experiencing Listeria monocytogenes symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

Tillamook Dark Chocolate Cookies & Cream Ice Cream, California, USA
6 days ago •reported by user-ytyv8253
My son ate a bowl of at 10:30 PM 4/13/24 And by 12:30 AM started throwing up violently lasted 48 hours of the worst vomiting I’ve seen. Additional symptoms were fever, extreme lethargy, and flu symptoms plus explosive diarrhea. He did not return to normal until Thursday
4/18/24.
The ice cream was brand new, a brand, new flavor creation, and therefore not something that sat on shelves at the grocery store for a prolonged period. I checked the packaging for any puncture sites found none, smelled completely normal and two other people in the home did not eat the ice cream, present with any food-borne illnesses or issues during the same time period So I know it was not viral or stomach flu, and was indeed food poisoning related. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Fever
