Remember to wash things like melons before you cut them - bacteria on the outside can contaminate the flesh when you cut them.Erika Kerekeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634307142866395851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957782103763272580.post-18974040064412281612011-06-07T05:28:36.678-07:002011-06-07T05:28:36.678-07:00Your story gave me chills.

I don't blame him for not wanting to hear the story again. My friend's toddler recently had salmonella poisoning, too, and thankfully he survived it, as well. This post should help us all not to be so cavalier about thinking it won't happen to us.

I think you did a great job here, considering how tough the experience must have been. It took a lot of courage for you to serve your family a raw egg food. I am sure the egg company appreciates the shout-out for their product.Patti at Camp Blogawayhttp://www.campblogaway.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957782103763272580.post-85151977764886146392011-05-31T07:34:17.124-07:002011-05-31T07:34:17.124-07:00Sorry to hear about your son.

I'll be sure to look for them when I make my weekly grocery trip. I get nervous when I make over easy eggs, I try to make them over-hard just because I get so nervous! Thanks for providing a safe alternative.Bianca @ South Bay Rants n Raveshttp://southbayrantsnraves.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957782103763272580.post-8654959504217087302011-05-30T13:50:17.386-07:002011-05-30T13:50:17.386-07:00I'm encouraging my daughter to read this (even...I'm encouraging my daughter to read this (even though I know she's already careful). I can't imagine the fear you experienced when your baby became ill...I would hate to think the same would happen to my two-year old grandson. I always take extra care in washing fruit and use a brush when possible. <br /><br />It's great to know that pasteurized eggs are available!

I'm one of those that takes a chance now and then on raw eggs (tasting batters and doughs, mostly), but I love that Safest Choice Eggs has taken the risk out of that equation. Even better, I love the stuffed blood cell and salmonella microbe.

Everyone thinks it 'wont happen to them,' and hopefully hearing your story will be eye-opening and make people be a little more aware of what they are eating and feeding their families. Obviously no one needs to live in fear, but it is important to be SMART.
