Is LYSTERIA virus dangerous in pregnancy?

Resolved question:
Hi I'm at the 4th month of my pregnancy and some days before I eat an emental cheese without clean up the crust around it. How dangerous is to take the lysteria virus for me and my baby? Do I need to make some examinations?

Hello.

Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.

It is totally alright to eat emmental cheese, even with the crust around it.

There is no need to worry about listeriosis in this case.
