              I've never seen my Aunt eat a whole water melon - not since she had all her teeth out!

                from Steve's link:

                "Salmonella Newport is often associated with cattle or horses, contamination from animal manure used as fertiliser is a potential source."

                That would be uncomposted, or fresh, manure then. Slurry. Nom nom.

                  I was going to have some slurry yesterday on toast, instead of Marmite (which I lurve). Glad I read this first!
