Just heard about the salmonella outbreak in tomatoes. Here’s a list of sources that are cleared:
The FDA has cleared tomatoes from these regions, saying they are not associated with the outbreak: Arkansas, California, Georgia, Hawaii, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Belgium, Canada, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Israel, The Netherlands and Puerto Rico.
Several restaurants have pulled raw tomatoes off of their menus, just in case. Basically, just avoid eating it raw unless you know where it’s from… though of course if you want to be extra safe, you can just not eat tomatoes
There was also some news on west nile infected mosquitos detected earlier than normal.. apparently the higher number of foreclosures have increased # of unattended pools.
That and the warm weather has increased mosquito breeding. The advice — wear long sleeves and bug repellent when out, especially at dawn/dusk.
