Just curious how lucky German forum members are handling the recent fresh produce E. Coli contamination scare. I just heard on NPR that Russia is banning import of vegetables produced in EU nations.
I'm directly in the zone where many people are affected (northern Germany), and I couldn't care less, since in my opinion things like these are widely exaggerated by the media. Just yesterday I had a Subway sandwich with everything except tomatoes (I don't like tomatoes anyway).
Additionally I have faith in my immune system - in the last 20 years I've been ill for about 3 or 4 days altogether.
Russia use every excuse they can get to stop importing anything from Europe. This is no different.The Russians are overreacting or using this as an excuse
Yea. Except I don't buy german salad. Not that there ever were german salad to buy anyway.So the short answer is: No.

but I think that it's this year's swine flu.
Several years ago I had a severe case of E. Coli infection. In my case, it attacked my bladder. It took me several months and a lot of medication to put an end to the infection, because it was always coming back a couple of weeks after I was feeling okay. Is this the same E. Coli infection that is scaring everyone right now?
There's elections coming up and southern europe is not in the highest regard these days due to the Euro crisis. A classic "blame Canada" move by our government. See, people? That's what you get when you vote conservative.I liked how Germany was fast to point the finger at Spain with no grounds whatsoever though, like if spanish cucumbers weren't exported to a wide variety of places and the outbreak was in a specific region of Germany.
It all sounds so fishy that it begs to be turned into a conspiracy theory.
The Russians are overreacting or using this as an excuse and our media is hyping it up to no end. As for myself, I don't care.
I've just stopped eating vegetables. So now I can eat even more bacon. Win-win.
