If any Whole Foods folks are not aware, there is a [recall](http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/consumer/recalls&id=9164793) on Crave Brothers Petit Frere cheese, which has been linked to an outbreak of listeria. Check your fridge.

Cheeses on a cracker: I saw what you did with that title. No Little Brother cheese in my fridge.

I had no idea that cheese [mite](http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/05/11/180570160/tiny-mites-spark-big-battle-over-imports-of-french-cheese) be a cause for concern.

Heh, that takes me back! My first new admission on Day One of my internship, July 1, 1983, had listeria meningitis, probably from contaminated cheese. Saw him in the ER, dxed meningitis based on nuchal rigidity, tapped his spinal fluid, got him on antibiotics, nursed him thru temps of 106, and he lived to WALK out of the hospital! Then I presented a grand rounds paper on Listeria Meningitis.

That was the peak of my career. It’s been downhill since. But that one day of glory…
