Just when you think it’s safe to go out and play in the refreshing rain. A big cloud appears in the sky and a big old storm just comes out of nowhere!
It appears that the fruit that we have been told to eat to make us more healthy is now … to some extent … affected by the Listeria Bacteria and instead of that fruit making us healthier, could be literally deadly. Listeria is a life threatening bacteria that causes a sometimes deadly form of food poisoning and is currently being found in some peaches, plums, nectarines and a certain kind of apricot packaged between June 1 and July 12.
Because of the possibility of disaster if the infected fruit is eaten and unsure what states this specific batch of fruit went to … there has been a nationwide recall of all of the above fruit.

The symptoms of Listeria are fever, chills headache and tummy upsets with vomiting.
Seniors are especially susceptible and so are the very young and people with weakened immune systems.
No serious cases have been found so far!
HOWEVER
Just to be safe … I think I’d steer clear of peaches, plums, apricots and nectarines for the time being. After all … what is more delicious and refreshing that an ice cold watermelon?
