And at first, I figured that since I ate the melon yesterday, and didn't get sick, the melon was fine. But I checked the incubation for listeria symptoms, and it can be up to 70 days! Now, again, I'm not really concerned, but let's say symptoms show up around Thanksgiving--everyone is going to assume it's improperly cooked turkey or eating the stuffing inside the bird, but the real cause will be this melon.
As long as you're not pregnant, don't worry.
