Well surprise.

[NorthMountain]

but how is the virus spreading to fruits imported from Mexico?

Um ...

Strawberry pickers voiding their bowels in the field?

Maybe?

Nahhhh ... that's crazy talk.

[LukeL]

The USDA and FDA will get on this right away.

Well, since they are workers in Mexico, we cannot blame this on illegal aliens. But it does reinforce that we should close the border and cut off all commerce and traffic from Mexico until they accept the return of all Mexicans currently living in the US.

How you get hepatitis depends on the type. But it can be transmitted via feces.

Perhaps raising them yourself has some merit?

Quick...put on a mask...or two!

I’ve been eating the wild strawberries in my yard.

Suppose they could have been wee-wee-d on or pre-licked by the wildlife.

Is the virus “in” the fruit internally or “on” the fruit externally? (As in, does a good washing greatly reduce the chance of contracting it? This article is about frozen fruit rather than fresh, making washing less effective.)

too late...i ate mine already...from walmart

[BigFreakinToad]

what most Americans don’t realize is we are being held hostage by foreign countries through food. We need to be self sufficent

Here in Texas, I buy strawberries about once a week. I think I’ve only had a handful of decent containers of strawberries in the past 5 years.

[Jeff Chandler]

No wonder they are on special at Fry’s.

Mexico does not have the same standards as the United States.

Human feces can account for some of the problem. At least
when this happened in years past, that’s what they came up
with to explain it.

[SIDENET]

Sheesh. Can't we just whip up an mRNA shot for Hep A?
