I can\u2019t decide if it\u2019s yet another scare tactic or something to not worry about.\u00a0 Dateline NBC\u2019s website has a report on E.coli bacteria found in bagged lettuce.\u00a0 3 different people in Minnesota contracted E.coli and were gravely ill, after having eaten lettuce from a bag!<\/p>\n
Well if this isn\u2019t proof positive that people should just grow their own veggies in their own yards and wash it and cut it themselves, then I don\u2019t know what is.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The show\u00a0should just change its name to Nightmareline.<\/p>\n
Then today on Oprah they had a\u00a0health expert on the show talking about pandemic in America and the possibility of tami flu and Asian flu, among other strains, and how we cannot possibly be prepared, as a country to face it.\u00a0 We\u2019d literally have to start stocking up on drugs, toiletries, household supplies, food, and water now, and make sure you have anough for a couple months, and just not go anywhere!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Are all these people just trying to scare us, or do we really need to worry this badly?<\/p>\n
Can\u2019t we just wash the lettuce, wash our hands and call it a day?\u00a0 No, not according to them!\u00a0 The report at Dateline indicated that if the E.coli bacteria\u00a0came about because of\u00a0animal or bird droppings in the fields, then chances are high the lettuce grew from the contaminated soil and no amount of washing would help.\u00a0 The flu expert said no matter how much you wash your hands, wear face masks, etc. these things are bound to happen and are air borne!<\/p>\n
I\u2019m locking the door and not going anywhere.\u00a0 Especially not to buy lettuce!<\/p>\n
