    My dumb question is -- where does listeria come from?
    Is it present in the air, and moist food allows it to multiply to levels that can affect humans? Is it something that's released as certain foods start to deteriorate?
    I have read so many lists of "foods to avoid" but none of the websites I visit explain what is, to me, the basic information.
    Does anyone know the answer?

    Thanks HB...and yes Goingtobebiginasia all good questions! I've done a bit of googling too but can't quite grasp what it is too...keen to hear if anyone knows.
    Or if someone can explain it in a way that my limited brain function can understand at the moment...lol
