I have been experiencing diarrhea and vomiting all day. The diarrhea comes and goes, with episodes every 4 hours today after being more frequent last night. I have also experienced nausea, fatigue, and bloating. I am 67 years old, on high blood pressure and rheumatoid arthritis medications, and received a shot for osteoporosis last week. I have not taken any medications for the diarrhea. Should I seek immediate medical care or wait a couple of days?

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and worried about potential listeria exposure from using a contaminated knife to cut raw chicken a month ago. I haven't had fever but have experienced diarrhea, mild throat ache, stuffy and runny nose. My concerns are: How significant is the risk of listeria, what preventive measures can be taken, can asymptomatic listeria infections harm the baby, and what is the actual incubation period for listeria?
