? I argued against testing????? no way Can you tell me where? You didn't "hit a nerve"- I just completely fail to understand your take on my position, or your arguments. That's confusion upon reading your posts, not nerves. But this is an imperfect way to communicate. I'm 100% for testing. And I was shocked when the government didn't allow beef producers to test for mad cow and certify their meat free from it. fsis.usda.gov Q. How do people get salmonellosis? A. Salmonella lives in the intestinal track of humans and other animals, including birds. Salmonella is usually transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Salmonella present on raw meat and poultry could survive if the product is not cooked to a safe minimum internal temperature, as measured with a food thermometer. Salmonella can also cause foodborne illness (salmonellosis) through cross-contamination, e.g., when juices from raw meat or poultry come in contact with ready-to-eat foods, such as salads. Food may also become contaminated by the unwashed hands of an infected food handler. Salmonella can also be found in the feces of some pets, especially those with diarrhea. People can become infected if they do not wash their hands after contact with these feces. Reptiles are particularly likely to harbor Salmonella. People should always wash their hands immediately after handling a reptile, even if the reptile is healthy. ..... I wonder if they didn't have birds in their damn peanut plant that crapped in the food. That would explain the contamination pretty easily.
