I think it is a really bad sign that the flu is jumping species...

Larry, my cats don't travel from poultry farm to poultry farm so you are safe if you want to visit them.

You left off vibrio in shellfish ... wonderful things like cholera.
And thats probably the most deadly one on the list.

Seriously. Animal food production is a disgusting process. Also, when was the last time anyone heard of a widespread outbreak of fatal bacterial/fungal/viral infections from eating asparagus?

Roberta said...

actually, I have heard of e-coli being found on strawberries, so be sure and wash your fruits and veggies!

Fern @ Life on the Balcony said...

LOL! I don't think that is very balanced Larry...

true, but no one has ever confused me with being balanced.

Larry, you might add girl scout thin mint cookies to your selections. I think they're still safe!

Rob said...

Im still trying to decide between bird flu and asparagus.

Deanne said...

Rob, there are many other green veggies to choose before resorting to asparagus!

Dad--Brocolli! Carrots! Corn! I know you love all of those and I guarantee they are better than bird flu. ;-)
