Cyclospora, bad advice and vasectomies

After walking Sorenne to school this morning – as I do – I dropped by my local fruit and veg monger where we chatted about kids, Screen-Shot-2013-08-05-at-8.53.06-AM-230x300partners and vasectomies.

As I do.

We compared stories.

Then we got into cyclospora.

Chapman put out an infosheet, but what strikes me, and my fruit and veg monger, is the amount of terrible advice: you’re not going to wash this stuff off, and if you succeed, you’re going to cross-contaminate your food service or home kitchen (cyclospora is a parasite, not a virus, news outlets).

Food safety starts on the farm.

Investigators and regulators – take us to the farm.
