New listeria warning: ice cream

https://www.cnn.com/2015/03/13/us/listeria-outbreak-prompts-ice-cream-recall/index.html

So now nothing is safe. Well, I'm off to eat sushi and a cold turkey sub. Screw it!

  • I just saw this... Crazy!

  • What brand?
  • Blue Bell, I believe?
  • Yikes! On the positive side, they are talking about an entire year span of time, and only 5 people got sick. On the negative again, 3 of them died, so not a good ratio! It's so rare, guys. The CDC says the cantaloupe outbreak a few years ago was the worst in US history, and even then only 147 people got sick, 33 died, and there was one miscarriage.
  • Oh, compare that to an average of 92 people a DAY dying from auto accidents, that's the point (2012 stat I got from the old Wikipedia). Hope that cheered everyone up :P!

    Or you just made people realize the dangers of ever leaving home! Definitely won't want to drive a car to go eat cantaloupe or ice cream!
  • Aaaaaah!!! Not blue bell! No point in returning to Texas I guess....

  • I just really wish you hadn't mentioned sushi. I had successfully brainwashed myself into (mostly) forgetting about sushi. This listeria thing is madness. IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE!?!? ^#(^
