In real life, many people put the unfinished meals in the refrigerator and wait until the next meal to continue eating. And a lady from Guangzhou nearly died because of the leftovers in the refrigerator.
According to media reports, recently, 56-year-old Ms. Chen from Huangpu, Guangzhou suddenly developed high fever, convulsions and other symptoms and fell into a coma for a while. However, after an examination at the hospital, it was discovered that the original cause of the disease was actually leftovers in the refrigerator.
The patient’s family members said that Ms. Chen suddenly started to have fever, weakness and other symptoms recently, and her fever became more and more serious. Her body temperature was as high as 42°C, and eventually she passed out.
The family hurriedly sent Ms. Chen to the hospital. After a checkup, the cause was finally determined.The doctor found Listeria in her cerebrospinal fluid and serum, suspected to be eating unsanitary foods that caused encephalitis.

The inquiry learned that Ms. Chen packed up a fried chicken rice and placed it in the refrigerator during the party a few days ago.Later, two days after eating the fried chicken rice, symptoms of high fever and convulsions began to appear. It is suspected that there may be Listeria in the leftover rice.
The doctor said that Listeria is one of the most harmful food-borne pathogens and is widely distributed in nature. It can survive in an environment of 0-45°C, and can grow and reproduce even in the refrigerated environment of the refrigerator, so it is also known as the “latent refrigerator killer”.
Patients infected with Listeria are very dangerous. If treatment is delayed or not treated, the mortality rate is as high as 30%. However, if the condition can be treated and controlled in time, the patient can basically recover completely.
The doctor pointed out that the refrigerator must be cleaned and disinfected regularly, the food in the refrigerator must be separated from raw and cooked, and the cooked meat that has been refrigerated must be heated thoroughly before being eaten again.
It is understood that Listeria is a facultative anaerobic bacteria and the pathogen of listeriosis.It mainly uses food as a vector and is one of the most deadly food-borne pathogens.
Listeria is ubiquitous in the environment. Meat, eggs, poultry, seafood, dairy products, vegetables, etc. have all been confirmed to be the source of Listeria infection. Listeria poisoning can cause serious blood and brain tissue infections. Many countries have taken measures to control Listeria in food.
