Q: i ate a salad from olive garden, im 36 weeks pregnant. now im worried about listeria. should i check news for recalls and just watch for symptoms?

: Eating salad in a restaurant like Olive Garden is quite common but eating Listeria contaminated salad is very rare. If there is a local outbreak of Listeria illness in your area you will for sure hear it in the news. Please do not worry at all. Take care.
