[ RadSafe ] Irradiation underused to fight E. coli in foods

[Doug Huffman]

Thank you.  Yours is the most on topic post, here, of this whole E. Coli

I noticed elsewhere today the observation that E. Coli is in general
transmitted to leafy crops by irrigation with contaminated water or
contact with fecal material in the fields.  None dare call it the
terrorism of ignorance.
