Maybe I'm paranoid, but I've been thinking (which is always dangerous) :)
If the epicenter of this Swine Flu is Mexico, even if it's not, how safe is the fresh produce, vegetables and fruits etc that we get from Mexico?
If the flu has gone from swine to people and now it can go from person to person, and we ALL KNOW that sanitary conditions aren't exactly great in Mexico, what if an infected field worker is harvesting our vegetables. Can we get infected?
Should we soak our vegetables in a vinegar water bath? Would that even help?
I posed this question to the MN Dept of Health and they sent me (after 5 people) to an a person in Epidemeology and she is supposed to call me back.
I'll update if I hear from her but I thought it an interesting point.
