"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.

Too Much Fertilizer: Lettuce has been implicated in an E. Coli outbreak at a cheerleading camp. The outbreak happened about ten days ago, and lettuce only has a shelf life of two weeks at best, so there hasn't really been a recall. The article mentions that the contamination could have come from contaminated irrigation water, but it could also have come from organic fertilizer. Moral of the story: The solution to pollution is dilution. Wash your lettuce and other produce thoroughly before eating, especially if it comes from South Africa. posted by Sydney on
