Thanks for pointing this out to me. I do occasionally put food in Ball Jars
when I know that I will be using the food within a week or 10 days, and not
leave too much time for the food to remain in the jar. However, I think the
suggestion about the sliver is enough for me to discontinue this practice.
Yikes! One could be hurt and also run up a lot of doctor bills while they
were trying to figure out just where this blood came from.
