Thanks for the url. Particularly interesting to me is Disease: Listeriosis
Common in nature, food processing environments, and intestinal tracts of
humans and animals. Spread in untreated water, unpasteurized milk and dairy
products, raw meat and seafood, plus raw vegetables fertilized with infected
manure.
Symptoms (after eating): Onset: 2-30 days.
