ANOTHER SALMONELLA SCARE (AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT)

Heard on the radio today about 150 lbs. of cilantro  being pulled off the shelves because of possible salmonella.

So, you're thinking, "I understand the inherent dangers with uncooked meat and eggs, but now, a leafy green is dangerous"?

Solution: all raw foods should be thoroughly washed, something that Gary Null has stressed on his radio show for years.

I've heard that in the armed forces, raw vegetables are washed in a solution of Clorox bleach (relax, it's a tbsp. of bleach per gallon of water, then thoroughly rinsed).  Alternatively, some use grapefruit seed extract (ten drops per gallon of water).  Be sure to soak for five minutes.
