  2. Very informative, thanks. You should do more demos like these. But does it
    really not help to wash the outside of the melon well and thoroughly?
    Wouldn’t that provide a useful reduction in the bacterial load (if you
    avoid splashing your wash water of course)?

  3. I didn’t know cantaloupes are grown in the ground…you can’t live in
    paranoia like this. Be logical and eat your fruits and vegetables(which I
    thought fell from the sky)

  4. what about canteloupes induces people to curse? if you want to eat
    contaminated food, be my guest…go to Taco Bell and splurge!! Do you have
    any idea what kind of contaminants are out in 3rd world countried, or do
    you just buy prepackaged, precooked lifeless food that hasn’t been touched
    by human hands and has no vitamins or nutritional value? Grow up, and clean
    up your mouth.

  7. There is no salmonela contamination, the FDA are idiots, people get sick
    from salmonella from improper storage or preparation of melons which is
    true with just about any fruit or vegetable, if people believe that
    honduran melons are contaminated and stop eating them BC of that, then they
    truely are idiots and ignorant and should remove thier heads from their
    asses

  9. Wow…lets get so worked up over fruit! Um actually the salmonella is
    coming from fresh produce and a lot of it is cantaloupe contamination. And
    you can chill on saying fuck us! Fuck you! We cant help what our government
    does or says so shut the hell up! Samonella comes from fecal matter that
    gets into the water and gets on fresh produce which doesnt get cooked so
    storing it right will only help so far. You have to cook it to get rid of
    it.

  10. My dear Doug Powell: You SIR suffer from Mysophobia. You should try going
    to a doctor to avoid you loosing control of your senses and your acts. Dip
    your cantaloupe in water with 10 drops of chlorine and youll be fine.
