I think this is probably when pig manure is used to
fertilize fields where vegetables are grown. - Gee,
this may also tweak us to consider really washing
vegetables and fruits which might be imported from
Mexico and other places. - Dadgum, in some places they
used to use human feces as fertilizer and that can also
harbor parasites.

Folks, we just simply need to wash our food real good
for starters.

My understanding is that field workers in Mexico will defecate in the fields and that practice can spread any number of disease and parasite, including these.

Cheap labor with no facilities (as required in the U.S.)

This is why I support regulations with Free Trade, some standards must be meet.
