Team Diarrhea

The state lab investigators here in Minnesota have been credited with tracing the source of the nation wide salmonella outbreak to jalapeno peppers - not the falsely accused and entirely innocent tomato.

These heroes have been dubbed: Team Diarrhea.

I, myself, at various points (fortunately not now) have been a member of "Team Diarrhea." Searching for the culprit, even when just your immediately family is involved, sometimes takes superior sleuthing abilities.

Unfortunately, I raised a family full of allergic reactors.

And it's no joke in third world countries. More babies die from simple diarrhea than anything else.

Thanks Team Diarrhea! May your numbers increase worldwide.
