I already post too much (IMHO) off-topic stuff, so I'll limit this to a
link and a brief comment.....

Link:  http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/tomatoes.html

Short summary:  the original FDA warning is now nationwide, and
includes products like salsa MADE FROM fresh tomatoes (duh...but it is
good to remind us, anyways).  The link above includes a list of states
that have NOT had any reported outbreaks (yet).

Raw tomatoes are lethal to me (pollen allergies...long story---for those
who know what it is:  Oral Allergy Syndrome), so it doesn't matter to me
either way...but I know it does to lots of folks I know, so....

Later,
