The <strong>killer cucumber<\/strong> and <strong>lethal lettuce<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It all sounds very <strong>sci-fi<\/strong>, but sadly it is reality. In Germany, where the outbreak seems to have started, more than 1600 people have been infected with <strong>E. coli bacteria<\/strong> after supposedly eating <strong>cucumbers<\/strong>, tomatoes and\/or salads. So far 18 people have died. And it seems to be spreading rapidly across more countries in <strong>Europe<\/strong> as people who are travelling from one country to the other are taking the infection with them. Not a very nice holiday souvenir to bring back to your loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>Just to give you some of the facts; the<strong> E. coli bacterium<\/strong> is a tough little fellow as it\u2019s proven to be resistant to pretty much all existing <strong>antibiotics<\/strong> and it\u2019s very hard to get rid of. It can cause potentially fatal liver damage, as well as <strong>haemolytic uraemic syndrome<\/strong> <strong>(HUS),<\/strong> which is a very bad kidney ailment, and give you bloody diarrhea. Apparently prevention is better than trying to cure it; so if you really want that salad wash the vegetables really well and peel them if you can.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why multiple airlines, such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/lp\/airlines\/american-airlines\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Book your next flight with American Airlines\">American Airlines<\/a> and of course <a href=\"http:\/\/www.travelstart.co.za\/lp\/airlines\/lufthansa-airlines\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Compare flight prices on Lufthansa\">Lufthansa <\/a>who fly in and out of <strong>Germany<\/strong> have opted to avoid all risks and changed their menus. Also<strong> LSG Sky Chefs<\/strong>, the company that provides many airlines with their<strong> inflight meals<\/strong>, have also stated to hold off on serving salads to passengers. At least that\u2019s one good thing about this very awful and sad situation; no more soggy inflight salads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just when you thought the exhaustive security checks made flying as safe as houses, there is a new potential on board killer on the prowl.
