‘Killer Cucumber’ Bug From Spain Hits Britain

Three people in Britain have been diagnosed with a lethal strain of E.Coli that has already killed five people in Germany.

Almost 300 people in northern Germany are in hospital and around 500 more are being tested for the infection.

Organic cucumbers from Spain are thought to be the source of the bacteria, but travellers to Germany are also being advised to avoid eating raw tomatoes and lettuce.

My wife noticed our neighbors Miata had been broken into as the door glass was shattered and a large bowl was on the street plus 2 garbage cans had been tipped over up the street. This was 6AM and they weren’t up yet so I stopped by at 9 and told them about it to their surprise. You could see dirty bear prints on the body around the door as their daughter had left a bowl of peanut butter cookies on the seat.
