The illnesses lead to the recall of 89,096 pounds of ham products made by Johnston County Hams. The products went to distributors in Maryland, North Carolina, New York, South Carolina and Virginia, according to the recall notice. The Centers for Disease Control says every year listeria sickens about 1,600 people bringing fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions.
