Melons grow on the dirt, and you never see dirty melons in your grocery store. (At least not the edible kind.) I'm guessing that they were washed with contaminated water at some point. |

Exalted is He from what they utter. Exalted is He from what they imagine. Exalted is He that exists without a place. Exalted is He that was there forever without a time or a beginning.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1294875 United States 10/01/2011 11:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | FWIW, my girlfriend had a quarter slice of one of the bad ones (we live VERY near the origin point), and spent two days violently ill. Scare campaign or not, something is going on here. This was 2-3 days BEFORE the media caught on, BTW. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2189825 United States 10/01/2011 11:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I thought it was common practice to wash fruits and vegetable at home, before prep/consumption? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1360216 I've always wondered about this. How would you have to wash a cantaloupe (or any other fruit or veg) to kill a bacteria like this? The way I normally wash produce is rinse/scrub well with cool water. Would this really help if it were contaminated? |
