I don’t think the E Coli is from the harvested lettuce originally.
I’ve watched at the store as human after human has touched five heads of lettuce before settling on the first one… just like a kid in a toy store.
I’ve also watched as human after human skipped the needless hassle of washing their hands and danced merrily out of the restroom… at a restaurant!!!
These stories correlate.
Humans are spreading these diseases.
I blame people.

All the above is true, but… another issue is, migrants will not use the facilities provided while working in the fields, especially when they are located at either end of the rows. Farmers motivate workers by paying them on how much they produce, so squatting where they work seems the most efficient way to maintain productivity. I know this because I worked at a clinic serving migrants. Salary does not guarantee productivity. It has been tested but an hourly wage does not get the same results. And produce spoils if not harvested on time and quickly.

I agree and have witnessed these things too. It’s disgusting that people walk out of the rest rooms without washing their hands and at the grocers handling food, everyone does this. I thoroughly wash my produce.

So right. Nor do they wash hands before preparing food.

I agree that many people don’t wash their hands after going to the bathroom or touching their nose etc etc, but I still am more nervous about the chemical products than the bacteria.

I give you anything it hasn’t even occurred to the educated “professionals” in the medical field and in medical science to look in this direction as a possible explanation to the E. Coli dilemmas (and others) of late.

And that’s why I refuse to eat at a public buffet. Not only do people not wash their hands, they also sometimes sneeze or cough on the food. Ugh.

Better to blame humans for still wanting to eat meat in large quantities and industrial animal agriculture

The farms also use non potable water.. run off from dairy farms and the like.
Ecoli is animal agriculture based. Biproduct of the meat industry.

They’re doing you a favor. By not washing their hands they’re allowing the weak bacteria to survive and mate with the super bacteria, thus creating more weak and fewer super. Ever read the bottle of sanitizer? “Kills 99.9%”, it’s that 0.1% that survive that will wipe out humanity.
