Symptom #3: Nausea, Vomiting, and Diarrhea

Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are also quite common among those infected with Leptospira. These gastrointestinal symptoms, together with high fever, chills, headaches, and muscle pain, are considered as the characteristic signs of the first phase of leptospirosis.

If a person feels nauseous, vomits or has many watery stools during the day, then it’s normal to have loss of appetite and even weight loss in certain cases. Dehydration is also common, especially when vomiting and diarrhea are severe.
