As soon as you slice through a melon, you contaminate the inside. The knife blade carries bacteria from the outside of the melon onto anything it touches, including the edible part.
Sensible folks, who love cantaloupe, will just do diligence, and wash the outside with bleach and water before cutting into the deliciousness found inside.
Enough with these alarms, already!
Doesn’t any sensible woman know how to “keep house” these days? If you haven’t managed to snag one of these rare gems, get busy teaching your beloved other that she is worth her weight in gold coins, if only she gets up on this “housewifery stuff”.
As the old song said:
Can she bake a cherry pit, Billy-Boy, Billy Boy?
