Do you bottle / can your own fruit and vegetables, or buy fruits and vegetables in season to 'put away' in the store cupboard?
If you do, we hope you are careful about how you do the procedure and make sure that you sterilise all of the equipment.
For if you are not punctilious about this part of the production, you run the risk of contracting a rare but serious illness caused by a germ called Clostridium Botulinum. It's highly toxic.
This bacterial germ is found all around the world in the soil and it can survive, grow and produce a toxin in sealed bottles and cans of food as part of its natural anaerobic process as it multiplies in an oxygen-free environment.
This dangerous toxin can and does effect nerves, paralyse and cause death. Even a small amount of food which contains this toxin is highly dangerous and can be.. deadly.
Please be aware of this dangerous toxin and do not eat anything from a jar or tin that shows a blown or puffy top or that is damaged or dented.
If anything tastes 'off' or smells 'odd' spit it out.
It's for this reason that infants under the age of one year should never be given honey as it can or may contain a minute amount of this germ and babies of this age have absolutely no antibodies.
And yes, Botox, which is used for all manner of reasons, is from the same toxin, scary stuff! It paralyses muscles in the face to prevent them causing wrinkles.
Even more scary is that people have it injected into their armpits in order to stop them sweating.. right amongst their lymph glands.
Boy oh boy! She would rather have the odd wrinkle and use her wonderful natural deodorant stone.
On a totally different subject altogether.. where's the 'Portugese style heatwave' we were promised today?
The BBC weather forecast said we were going to be as hot as Portugal, well, all I can say is that poor old Portugal must be having a very dreary weekend over there as it certainly isn't hot and sunny over here!
Never mind.. we've had lunch, it was a large bowl of assorted vegetables, drizzled with oil, topped off with lots of chilli, garlic and black pepper.
She's being careful about what she eating and lots of vegetables and fruit are on the menu.
She went to the surgery yesterday morning and the senior partner at her GP's practice was not happy to hear she's got her 'problem' back again, it was what caused her to have to retire, so he's sent off a letter to her consultant to request an appointment for her.
And meanwhile, back home on the ranch, it now transpires that Dorzolomide, a drug which she takes for her glaucoma and has been on for over a year, should not be taken by someone who has a prior history of Kidney Stones!
What a flipping bugger, to put it politely!
So I have her captive at home until tomorrow, then she's venturing forth to meet someone new who does 'strange things', if we like her, we'll report back on her findings tomorrow afternoon.
No, you'll just have to wait until she's come back for more on this subject.. pippip!
