Listeria outbreak?

Anyone concerned about this and/or discussed this with their doctor? Is there any kind of screening test they can do for it? I did eat cantalope a bit this summer and just don't like these reports that you come up with symptoms 1-2 months later, yikes!

Re: Listeria outbreak?
Your doctor can do a test to check for the listeria infection. Quite a few of the pregnant Colorado girls had this test done as the majority of our late summer canteloupes come from the Rocky Ford region in Colorado (and even our local grocery stores originally had stock of the recalled Jensen Farms canteloupes). Since sympoms can take up to three months to surface and the recall/concern goes back to the end of July, it's hard or almost impossible to know if you may have had some canteloupe from this region at some point in the last few months.

This is an excellent example of Jerzee's post below -
On this board a poster brings up the Listeria outbreak and she gets helpful responses. On the third trimester board someone brought it up and got reamed for posting "old news."
More on point - I'm not worried about melons I've already eaten, but I'm not adding any more to my grocery list for the foreseeable future.
I've been eating cantalope like it's going out of style since I've been pregnant. Usually as part of a fruit salad already chopped up.
I called my doctor to see if I should be concerned or get tested and they didn't seem to be worried about it. I guess their lack of concern is comforting?

Yeah - I'm not excited about moving over.
I just heard about this today on another message board that was totally unrelated to pregnancies. (Someone was just casually mentioning that they and their husband were sick and couldn't figure out why...this was mentioned and I was like, huh?).
