Question 1 of 4
1. Question
1.Why are Pregnant Hispanic women even more likely than non-Hispanic pregnant women to get a Listeria infection ?
CorrectIncorrectHint
Pregnant Hispanic women are even more likely than non-Hispanic pregnant women to get a Listeria infection. This is probably caused by eating traditional soft cheese, such as “queso fresco,” and other traditional foods made with milk that is unpasteurized.

Question 2 of 4
2. Question
2. Listeria does not pose a risk for an unborn child or a pregnancy when the pregnant mother only feels mild flu-like symptoms.
CorrectIncorrectHint
While a pregnant woman may have only a mild, flu-like illness, or may not feel sick at all, listeriosis can lead to miscarriage, death of the unborn baby, a low-birth weight infant, health problems for the newborn, or even infant death. That’s why reducing risks from Listeria is so important.

Question 4 of 4
4. Question
4. Listeria is the 3rd leading cause of death from food poisoning, and can grow at refrigerator temperatures.
CorrectIncorrectHint
Certain foods – including ready-to-eat refrigerated foods, unpasteurized (raw) milk, and foods made with unpasteurized milk – often may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes (LM), the third leading cause of death from food poisoning. These foodborne bacteria can grow at refrigerator temperatures and can cause an illness that in most healthy people is unpleasant but not serious.
