Feel a little silly posting this but have heard some weird things lately. I buy much of my produce from Costco (bell peppers from BC, Romaine from California etc…) so I’m not too worried, but someone recently told me that some of the Taiwanese “gardeners” use human feces as fertilizer in their crops!!! Not sure if this is true but obviously grossed out by the thought and worried if true.
Also, recently heard a statistic that 1 in 3 people from Taiwan have Hep B?
and finally, we have a reverse osmosis filter on our kitchen tap for drinking water. We have been using regular tap water to brush teeth etc…also, I have young children who take baths every night and sometimes they inadvertantly drink some of the water (eg. sucking on wash clothes etc…). We’ve been here since January, and everyone seems ok. What is the final verdict on the tap water here? Is it completely contaminated (like it is in Mexico or Thailand) or is it somewhat treated.
Sorry for the ignorant questions, but I’m a fretting mother.
