If you don't want the shits or worse better pay attention to this mail, for years now I have not ordered salads or greens when eating out, always something served HOT and have survived without the shits or worse. Wife loves salads and will not take my advice and is sick the next day after eating out many times when I am not. Cooks in the back room are busy people trying to make a living and may go from cutting chicken to preparing your salad with the same knife or go take a quick shit themselves, their human too, without washing their hands effectively (killing bacteria, or washing them away, most people don't know how to wash correctly), all this happens on the same cutting board or table, cabbage too, making slaw (a known source of ecoli bacteria). Please take my advice and eat your greens at home after washing them correctly or better still plant a garden of your own and eat your greens right out in your garden. If the supper markets don't kill you, the growers will with all their sprays of herbicides etc. We can no longer trust the farmer, restaurant, or supper market to yield safe food. If you don't listen to me, you will soon have hair growing in the palm of your hand ! Your not pretty when you have the shits. Send this to people you care about, but not the people you don't, let them get the SHITS. GC

I thought something other than the shits made hair grow on your palm......
