Color me confused.....
The CDC and other agencies are trying to figure out how the e-coli virus got onto spinach leafs. As I drive the levies here in the Central Valley of California I see lots of folks picking crops by hand. I also see porta-potties spread among the fields, but don't see any obvious hand washing/sanitizing facilities. So, I've wondered for many years how/why we haven't seen more health problems.
Yes, I understand that the spinach in question apparently comes from the Salinas Valley (not that far away), but I suspect they have the same porta potties in the fields there.
