Finally getting some ripe tomatoes from the garden. Damn, they're
good. Trouble is, Mr. Woodchuck has been around sampling them. About
half have bites take out of them.

I'm thinking I'll just cut out the nibbled areas and use them - but
not raw, just in case Mr. Woodchuck (and I suppose it could be
something else) has some horrible disease - will probably thoroughly
cook them down into sauce of some sort.

Sound reasonable to you?

I just wash them in cool water and use. Raw or however. Mr Woodchuck's
mouth is probably cleaner than yours and mine anyway.

Speaking of that, I have 4 ripe tomatoes I've picked and are sitting
in my kitchen! I gotta start eating them up! Ate one yesterday, just
cubed it up and ground black pepper on it. YUM!

Not really... I'd put a serious pellet in there asses. I stopped
gardening in general due to there deprivations. Road kill? Eaten by
local dogs? Had a fight and lost to the local raccoon?
I'm all for that.

Nah, tomatoes can't transmit rabies even if Mr. Chuck had that disease.
Squirrels and birds get into our tomatoes and we just cut the bite marks
out and eat them raw or cooked. Too much work went into growing them to
let the critters ruin it for us.

Yep! But I would wash them and eat them raw. Usually diseases don't carry
between animals and people. (I've never seen a rabid woodchuck ...)

Yup, they need water too. FOr them is IS a free lunch.
