But thank goodness you keep all your food packaging for at least 45 days like a normal person, right? Right? [me wistfully trying to remember which TJ's salads I bought two weeks ago and ate within two days]

It's fine, still plenty of time to become symptomatic for up to like SEVENTY EARTH DAYS after ingestion www.health.ny.gov/diseases/com...

What are the symptoms of listeriosis?
Because listeriosis can affect many different parts of the body, the symptoms vary from mild to severe. Listeria can cause fever and diarrhea (loose stool/poop) similar to other foodborne germs, but this type of Listeria infection is rarely diagnosed. Symptoms vary in people with invasive listeriosis, meaning the bacteria has spread beyond the gut. Symptoms typically start 1 to 4 weeks after eating food contaminated with Listeria.

Pregnant women: Pregnant women typically experience only fever and other flu-like symptoms, such as fatigue and muscle aches. However, infections during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn.
People other than pregnant women: Symptoms can include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, in addition to fever and muscle aches.
How is this disease diagnosed?
Specific laboratory tests are the only way to diagnose this disease. A blood, spinal fluid, or amniotic fluid/placenta test that looks for the bacteria will be able to show if the disease is present.
