Topic: Produce of Peril

I ate a tomato today.

I am going to die? (From the tomato, I mean -- not from my wife discovering I went to Burger King for lunch...)

The tomato won't hurt you at all.
The salmonella might be a problem.

Re: Produce of Peril

That depends. I am allergic to raw tomatoes..... or rather, the high amount of arsenic in them.... and yes, I go into anaphylactic shock.....

So eating a tomatoe would cause ME to die.....

I would think that if you are reading these, you probably won't die any time soon because of the tomato. They are mildly carcinogenic tho if memory serves, so you can sue Burger King if you get cancer later on.

Unless you hear news reports about Burger King patrons getting sick, I'd basically not worry about it. Might look up the symptoms on the 'net, but seems to me that if you're not dealing with any symptoms in a day or so, I think you're good....

Caveat - I'm not a doctor....but unless you're crapping yourself silly within a day or two, you're good.
