THAT stated e. coli can be a problem almost exclusively with the elderly
and/or very young children (can you say "compromised immune system?), and even

Anyone afraid of lettuce should never untie their dock lines.


Death is not the problem but Montezuma will get his revenge. Good thing
there are few NDZs in third world countries. :-)

strain of E. coli known as "E. coli O157:H7" can learn all that is necessary
