Listeriosis: This is not a common infection and you are not likely to have gotten it by eating bologna directly out of the package. Although it is possible to get from bologna, it is rare and unless you are beginning to develop symptoms would not worry. If you do develop symptoms see your doctor ASAP. Have a great baby.
