I've been right off lettuce all summer due to numerous such reports.

And cucumber around here. I didn't even know cukes could carry pathogens. I thought they were safe as they're covered up. Duh!

Who knew even salad is lying in wait to ruin your day?

Good to know. One less thing to add to my shopping list this holiday season.

:)

Lettuce please not talk about Mormonism here.

I was going to say "Lettuce not make fun of Turkey."

Just throw your Romanian lettuce out.

What if the lettuce is Greecy?

Then don't put it in your Chile.

I might just throw it out the window onto the Iceland.

Kenya do that?

Either that or make it Togo.

Norway!

My cancer center has sent out e-mails to all its cancer patients advising us of the CDC alert.

It says to throw out romaine in any form including baby romaine spring mix, and Caesar salad.

It adds to, "If you are not sure whether a salad mix contains romaine lettuce, throw the product away and do not eat it.
Wash and sanitize drawers or shelves in refrigerators where romaine was stored."

All across the land, people are rejoicing that they no longer have to eat those dangerous vegetables.

Be safe - eat potato chips and oreos!

Ironically, in the long run, such warnings will probably kill more than they save.

Kind of like people afraid of plane crashes, then driving, increase their risk of death.

If you really believe the media is fake news, now is your chance to eat all the lettuce.

I don't think that's how fake news works. It usually requires its purveyors to drag out a succession of malicious freaks--woman-beating lawyers, for example--who have none of the credibility of the CDC. In fake news, it's the accusation that matters, not the proof.

I got sick from e-coli once. Three days of misery. I should have gone to the hospital. It was that bad.

No. That would be i-Coli.

I had a store bought tuna salad on romaine lettuce over the weekend. Because of Heidi's alert and the CDC alert, I threw out the lettuce.

Not the tuna.

If your lettuce had been tainted, you still would have been sick. Since you weren't...you could have eaten the lettuce :)

I wasn't going to play dice with the universe.

My cancer center also sent out notices to discard any/all lettuce, and not to consume it.

The tuna seemed safe enough to eat. it was just sitting atop a big leaf of romaine. so I scooped it off the romaine and finished it off.

The romaine was separate from the rest. Sure I could've thrown out the tuna too, but I was too hungry and it was lunchtime. And I brought my lunch from home.

The other half of it I ate on the weekend before reading the notice from my cancer hospital via the CDC alert. The romaine lettuce from that did give me a mild tummy ache. At least that's what I trace it back to now.

I'm just going to have to avoid salads until this thing passes over. Pass the chocolates, please. ;-)

Romaines House Go!

I bought a bunch of organic lettuce from my favorite cute hippy chicks at the local farmers' market right before all the warnings came out.

I'm fine, and I figure if I died from tainted greens those girls might come to my funeral, so it's all good.
