If we absolutely refused to ever touch another product that has sickened, injured, maimed, or killed people, we would have NOTHING left to eat, drink, drive, wear, clean with, strap kids in with, strap kids OUT with, etc, etc, etc.

My brother also had Blue Bell in his freezer...he has enough self control (unlike myself, who can eat an entire carton by myself in one setting!!) that a half gallon lasts him for MONTHS....he has not gotten ill from it and this is stuff that he has had since Jan-Feb.....of course, he is essentially healthy and no way immune compromised, which is where listeria causes grave concern.....

Yeah, sis knows that even if she got a tainted container of BB, she's not likely to get sick as she's not immune-compromised and is basically healthy.

I got food poisoning years back, had an anaphylactic shock reaction as though I was severely allergic reaction to the toxin itself & that's what kept me in ICU for so long with severe hypotension. The hospital called my family to come to the hospital as soon as I was brought into the E.R. as they said I was near death. It was Honey Boy Pink Salmon that made me so sick and I ate some the week after I got out of the hospital on a dare! Now, I wouldn't be so anywhere near so brave - or foolish!
