Yup, although the CDC recently released a report listing the most common
sources of campylobacter and E. coli -caused food poisoning these days.
Anybody wanna guess?  Salad bars and organic apple juice.<g>

We see the same thing in the vet hospital at CSU.  A few months ago, a horse
came into the hospital in incredible pain, colicking big time and couldn't
be managed medically, only surgically.  The owner said the horse had been
acting colicky for the past two weeks and some homeopathic guru had sold her
an infusion of dandelions guarenteed to 'cure' any form of colic (never mind
that there are about a billion causes of colic and that colic is a symptom,
not a disease).  So we took the horse into surgery and most of the large
bowel was necrotic and dead from what had started probably as gas or
impaction and had eventually turned into a torsion.  Guess the dandelion tea
didn't work all that great, and yup, you better believe the horse could have
been saved two weeks earlier by western medicine/surgery.  As it was, we put
him down on the table.
