Nope nothing here.  Is it supposed to be on lettuce or something?

Yeah. I trace it back to a sub that I bought at the local Publix, which has since recalled bagged lettuce (which we don't buy, but the deli apparently uses).

We've avoided lettuce and other leafy greens, and fortunately, no problems for us.  

Sounds awful though.  Hope it passes soon.  

Or.....hope you stop passing soon....whichever.

We've been avoiding bagged lettuce, and since we rarely eat anything we don't cook ourselves, haven't had a problem.

I had just gotten into the habit of 2 heads of lettuce every grocery trip, maybe since the beginning of June.  I had one in the fridge when I heard about this and threw it away.  Just haven't bought any lately.  It's and easy-enough food to avoid for awhile.

Just sucks that it's so soon after getting in the routine of eating it, lol.  Hope it passes quickly, bastage.

Bagged lettuce is the problem, as I understand it. The heads should be fine.

Not a necessary risk.

Just got done with a telehealth.

Bactrim is the Rx. Should clear it out in a few days.

I'm mostly cured, but it's been almost a month, counting the aftereffects.  I THINK I first had flu, a lot of body aches, then as it started to clear up, I got a cold, which lead to thhe tube problem.  The cold itself wasn't that bad.  I pitched last Saturday for our team, was really feeling it after a while.  Our team really struggles with just normal simple plays to get outs.  Our 3B is the manager, and anything hit his way he tends to fall down if he has to move at all.  The 1B can't catch the ball, which is kind of an issue, presuming anyone fields a grounder and actually throws it his way.  About the only outs we get are lazy fly balls to the OF.  I struck a guy out, OK fine, but the catcher dropped the ball, he can't catch either, and threw it over the 1Bs head, not that he would have caught it anyway.

I still have fun, and obviously I'm not that good either, so ....
