Possible Listeria Infection from Soft Cheese
According to a story on the TheIndyChannel.com, The Marion County Health Department (Indiana) has reported one person becoming ill after eating cheese that was sold door-to-door:
The health department said it became aware Tuesday that someone sold unpasteurized soft white cheese in the area of 38th Street and Georgetown Road, as well as near 38th Street and Moeller Road. Officials are worried that others might buy the product. The cheese was contaminated with a bacteria called listeria.
Listeria is the most deadly foodborne pathogen. Pregnant women are the most susceptible to contracting a Listeria infection. Although the pregnant women rarely get seriously ill from Listeria infections, their Listeria infections often cause miscarriage, stillbirth, and newborn fatalities.
