I agree that most never think about this however this topic came up in a discussion the other day and I thought it was interesting.
Where do these farm workers go to the bathroom?
As you are already aware most farm workers are illegal from the south. They came from the south to seek a better life. However, "we" should realize that these same individuals couldnt afford health care or even at minimum the same vaccinations we are protect ourselves and children from at a young age.
It is very possible that some of the illegal immigrants could be carrying dieases that would have been caught during the normal screening process everyone is subjected to when visiting from a foriegn country.
While you sit and think about how small the percentage is that is likely carrying a disease - think about how large the risk is though IF you or your children eat these very crops that have been deficated on by the illegals.
Food for thought,
