re: #138 Naso Tang

I claim that almost any human activity can come up with a few small samples of any activity that can be dangerous in certain circumstances.

Why don’t we ban cantaloupes and require all farm workers to wear hazmat suits when handling agricultural products so they don’t bring a contaminant home? I see that quite a few people have died from serious poisoning from those recently.

I don’t think “homes built before 1978” that get renovated are as rare as Listeria in cantaloupes. Good thing there are REGULATIONS in place that make it possible to trace the Listeria to its source.
