A member asked:
I ate from a cheese plate with unpasteurized cheese and am 15 weeks pregnant. i am very worried - should i be? am i likely to be okay? would listeria only be an issue if an outbreak occurred? what is the real chance of an issue? <1%, <10%, or more?

Don’t panic but yes, be concerned. Listeriosis often contracted from unpasteurized cheese, 3 cases/100,00 in US. 1600 cases total in US in 2015. Watch for stomach pain, muscle aches, chills, fever, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. If ANY develop within next 7-10 days see your doctor PROMPTLY.
