Thanks for the heads up, Dimitri.

We're big tomato eaters here and eat them on a daily basis (of the fresh
and/or canned variety). Both my hubby and one of our 20-month-old twin
daughters came down with some sort of stomach flu (nausea/vomiting,
diarrhea) this past week (both cases lasting several days). I did
prepare/serve tomatoes (mostly roma) on several occasions during the past
week, but neither of our twins consumed them. My hubby, our 5-year-old
daughter, my visiting FIL, and I all ate the tomatoes, and only my hubby got
sick. It's a "go figure."
