Fatality rate ambiguity
The wording with regards to fatality rates is confusing.

The article states that 20-30% of listeria cases are fatal, but also states that in healthy people it usually causes self limiting fever and diarrhea.

I am not particularly familiar with listeriosis, but it seems likely that the 20-30% range refers to the risk of death in people who contract the severe/invasive disease, rather than all forms of listeriosis. Could someone maybe weigh in with a clarification? 2600:4041:2D9:9F00:4BBA:90C5:7BAE:EF50 (talk) 04:26, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
