Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 There was e. coli in apple juice from Washington State a year or so ago, due to cattle having grazed under the trees prior to a harvest of apples. Further, anything can be exposed to it. Migrant workers defecate in the fields as they work, because they're usually offered no sanitary facilities, and so often fresh vegetables are infected, too. It can be anywhere, on anything handled by a human being. Insufficient cleanliness in a restaurant or hospital worker suffices to spread things, including e.coli. And women who wear their nails long, or wear false ones, are several times as likely to spread things, by the way. Just some food for thought.
