"An E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce ripped across 15 states in November, sickening dozens of people, including a 9-year-old boy in Indiana who nearly died of kidney failure and a 57-year-old Missouri woman who fell ill after attending a funeral lunch. One person died.

"But chances are you haven’t heard about it.

"The Food and Drug Administration indicated in February that it had closed the investigation without publicly detailing what had happened — or which companies were responsible for growing and processing the contaminated #lettuce."

A new strain of norovirus has been responsible for a dozen outbreaks on cruise ships, with hundreds of passengers getting sick. Meanwhile, last week, all full-time employees in the U.S. CDC's Vessel Sanitation Program were fired — cruise ship inspectors, plus the epidemiologist in charge of outbreak response. Pauline Frommer of @FrommersMag looks at why the heck this happened — "any claim that this was a cost-saving move is hokum," she writes — and what you should do if you're thinking of booking a cruise.

I changed my 6 month old air filter in my IKEA Förnuftig air purifier in my workshop yesterday as part of my big spring clean and as I was disassembling it (fortunately a very easy job!) I was wondering if it makes much of a difference.

Then I put the old filter next to the brand new one and decided that holy cow, yes, it does! :yikes:

I should get around to installing the bedroom one at home...

How on earth can these even be permitted on the grounds of health & safety alone? and to be used as sensory items ...

Consider the problems in sewers, waterways & oceans if they make it there, or if they get into the hands of those with malicious intent towards others.
