Germans have been warned not to eat cucumbers until tests identify the source of a deadly E.coli outbreak which local officials say has killed 13 people.
It is thought contaminated cucumbers were imported from Spain, but further tests are being carried out.
Germany has registered 1,200 confirmed or suspected E.coli cases so far.
With cases reported in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and the UK, Germany is set to hold crisis talks later.
In many of the reported cases, the gastrointestinal infection has led to Hemolytic-uremic Syndrome (HUS), which causes kidney problems and is potentially fatal.
Ugh.. It's all over the news here in Austria (country next to Germany). Well, I'm eating cucumbers and I'm still alive.. Nevertheless, it's still a bit frightening.
>>3 I thought that you posted this, and were just complimenting yourself lmao. In any case... GOOD i hate cucumbers. Maybe now we'll burn them all like we shoulda done with spinach. -.-
