Oh stop it.
There are no confirmed cases of Hep A in our blood bank and if I had to guess, I would say the berries would have been washed in water containing sewage, as opposed Chinese children shitting on the berry bushes.
If you want to become hysterical over health concerns, look a little closer to home and focus on obesity/increases in whooping cough and measles.
Fertilised with human poo indeed.
I was just stating a point to open a discussion.
Yep, they could have been washed in sewerage, which is like washing in poo water. I never said anything about children shitting in berry bushes, nor did I ever imagine children doing that ........... Was really weird to imagine that.
I am NOT hysterical.
I don't need to look closer to home to see people living their lives in an unhealthy ways. Why tell me, to look a bit closer to home?
People bought that product to become healthy.
With the Measles and Whooping Cough mention....... More Education all round needed, maybe????
I don't understand why there is not a warning on products, to wash them in clean water prior to consumption. Same goes for that bagged lettuce, that states "washed and ready for use" - I always wash and rinse.
Anyway, that is my point on your point .........
Hepatitis A is not a blood borne virus and although not nice, it does eventually clear. You can get a vaccination against it as well, which isn't that expensive and is just two or three injections.

I did read that in China and elsewhere fruits and vegetables are sometimes fertilised with human poo. It's called 'nightsoil'. I think I'm going to start my own vege garden.
hahahahahahhhhaaa - Not Grey Water, some people are opposed to that! I used to use my 'Grey Water' on my ornamental plants, and it was good. The Brown Variety??? I think those self composting dunnies might be a treat (if needed)
Yeah, I knew about the Nightsoil ..... hence my blabber ......
Sure, we use Dynamic Lifter, Animal Dung etc to make our Crops luscious .......... but once again, EDUCATION ...... I think lala was touching the subject on health matters starting in our own backyard.
Thanks for that link and the info about HepA not being in the blood - it was just all over the News here, when I got a glimpse and was a bit concerned.
Peace Out xx
