  • Using gloves, wash all fruits and vegetables with baking soda and then rinse with white vinegar, before rinsing with pure water. Using a spray bottle for the vinegar works well. Also, as a last treatment, use H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) as a last step, and finish with a second pure water rinse.

    I even wash fruit that will be pealed--before pealing--too.

    These cleaning agents are safe and cheap and available at all Sam's Clubs in bulk. DO IT FOR YOUR KIDS!!!

    We're all in the third world now!

  • its worse than the swine flu and its gonna set off the next pandemic its gonna attatch to the flu like avian flu or swine and mutate into the SUPER DUPER BUG CALLED

    THE (H.R.N VIRUS) A.K.A (heart respritory neurological VIRUS) and its gonna erupt sometime 2011 into a full scale global killer and if you dont believe me then just wait and see its going to kill an estimate of 3 qaurters of the human population and dont blame any government cuz they aint gonna stop it its a natural born virus

  • Most of you obviously have no respect (or knowledge) of evolutionary biology. It can't be underscored enough how easily bacteria swap genes and equally scarey is their ability to survive. This is just not something to joke about.  Ask seniors about the good 'ol days before antibiotics. Strong or weak immune system--doesn't mean a damn if something like XDR-TB gets you. When you get antibiotics, take them properly. We can't make it easy for bugs to adapt or medicine breakthrus won't keep up.

  • @ultamatepower yeah because the human body can treat "bugs" the people who die from this have a weak immune system and since antibiotics can't help then there is a problem

  • Its been 2 and a half months and since then the number of people with it has only decreased

  • Thank you India.

  • Lol I already know the cure, but nobody will listen so I wont try, I'll just let them die

  • oh my frikken god. im so gonna like get a vaccine for this just like the um. swine flu. because the swine flu was said to be like a pandemic .!!

  • Today Foxnews just said it's in California, Illinois, and Massachusettes. All these people had been in Indiana where it's considered widespread. :-(
