Listeria must be in: an environment where it can survive and reproduce. The most common sources of Listeria are dairy products. You must must eat or drink the contaminated food product to acquire Listeriosis. While Listeria can survive cold temperatures, can't be transmitted through an inanimate object like a pillow. Sleep well! Dr. Anne.
