Now that tomatoes have been greenlighted by the Food and Drug Administration in the recent salmonella outbreak — after 1,251 people got sick and two died — federal health officials today announced finding a jalapeno pepper with the same strain. Takeaway: we should not eat fresh jalapenos but processed or pickled peppers are safe.
NBC’s crackerjack science correspondent Robert Bazell has the full story.

I’m toast! I had better start munching on garlic clove in the morning.

Oh, dear! Cans and jars are okay, though.
But bead! You grow your own! You can have those on your toast: http://thebeadden.wordpress.com/2008/07/19/my-baby-jalapenos-and-what-are-these/#comment-840
Sorry, ella, I really should not post links to other people’s blogs on yours; but her home grown jalapenos are just too charming to ignore.
I’m glad you are back, ella, I missed you. Again, I appreciate you keeping us up to date with this situation. I just ate some salsa…I’m assuming it’s ok. Feel good so far!

I ate garlic cloves, took some oil of oregano and drank some Aloe Vera juice. I eat fresh Jalapeno peppers about 3 times a week. Sometimes more. The ones in my garden aren’t ready yet so I have been buying them at the store.
If I’m not around in the next few days, you know why.

That’s okay, muse! Bead’s in my blogroll too; how did I miss those jalapeno’s this morning? I guess I was so enchanted by bead’s Christmas ornament! You should be fine with jarred salsa. If not…try the garlic and aloe!
bead - I don’t know where you came up with that remedy but I like it! I tossed out a store-bought jalapeno, but if Habaneros are implicated too, I’ll be scampering around for aloe vera juice!
But mine aren’t ready yet, Muse. Maybe in a few weeks. I wonder how on earth anything, even salmonella, could survive a Jalapeno!
Ella, I was just “winging it” with what I took. I figure between the three, it would knock off anything. And thank you very much for the compliment on my ornament cover. I enjoy making them more than jewelry.
