Here's a bit more:
State health officials are working to track down the source of the contaminated lettuce in this year's outbreak. In the meantime, the best thing you can do short of getting a hepatitis A vaccination is to wash the lettuce.I think I'll stick with my home grown stuff (lettuce, that is).With lettuce, some people "throw it in a colander, and swish water around that's not going to be effective." A better idea, officials said, is to rinse the lettuce in cool water. Using a brush may also be more effective.
I'm with ya..... and I'm gonna lay off the store-bought and restaurant-provided lettuce from now until next growing season!
Me too.
