I’ll return to The Blue Revolution soon, but let me close the book on my June 24 article on the killer tomatoes. Looks like this outbreak has morphed into the jalapeno that might cause a mild illness. We blame China for a lot of bad stuff. This time we are holding Mexico responsible for this scourge. Thus, watch out for these fresh peppers, or those used in non-cooked/pickled products such as salsas and salads.
The toll is up to 1.251 in 43 states, and no one has died. Tomatoes have been cleared, but maybe not. How serious is this epidemic from jalepeno?
Trivial! Americans contract 1.4 million cases of salmonellosis each year. Ground beef from Safeway (Hawaii was included) was a source less than two years ago, although the company reported that NO ONE was affected. I would be wary of eating raw hamburger.
Each year there are 36,000 deaths and 200,000 hospitalizations in the country directly attributed to influenza, or the common flu. Sixty million of us annually contract this bug.
Remember that previous article where I indicated that 1 in 20,000 eggs might have Salmonella enteriditis, which means that you can eat a raw egg every day for 57 years and, perhaps, catch this ailment, once? Well, the odds of you being sickened with jalepeno will more closely be related to your intolerance to spicy hot food.
Why am I even writing about vegetables and diseases? Well, Chapter 2 of my book 2, SIMPLE SOLUTIONS for Humanity (http://simplesolutionsbook2.com/), enters the realm of nutrition and medicine.

Oil dropped below $130/barrel today, down to $128.15. Gasoline prices have now been dropping for two weeks, to $4.05/gallon. That's the U.S. average, not Hawaii.
-
Tropical Storm Bertha is safely in the Atlantic heading east.
-
Tropical Storm Cristobal, at 50 MPH, is still moving parallel to the Eastern Seaboard, but is weakening and could move slightly east southeast by Thursday.
-
Dolly is now officially a hurricane at 75 MPH, and is predicted to hit in the vicinity of Brownsville, Texas tomorrow afternoon. Very heavy rains are expected.
-
Elida is just about now providing some needed rain to the Big Island. Nothing much more is expected.
-
Fausto has weakened into a tropical storm at 40 MPH and should soon become a remnant.
-
Tropical Storm Genevieve has winds nearing 60 MPH and should strengthen as she moves west on the path of Elida towards Hawaii.
