This is just pro rotten cheese propaganda because if you read, literally the exact same species of fly maggot has caused known cases of pseudomyiasis. So some nerd doctor somewhere hasn't explicitly determined a specific infection came, specifically, from eating this cheese. They don't need to! You're eating the same damn maggots!
Of course it's pro-rotten cheese propaganda, it's pro all rotten food propaganda, because controlled rot is like the tastiest of all things.
My point is clearly the risk of actual disease is very low, probably even lower than foods we do commonly eat.
Cocoa, kimchi, pickles, miso, all alcoholic drinks, kombucha, natto, yoghurt, the list of rotten foods that are the actual best is endless.
Kafkaesque
Today I learned cocoa is fermented after harvesting.
I too only learned this a couple years ago! It's very neat.
