I was talking to my doctor about selecting a fertilizer for my lawn that did not have chemicals and she told me that some of the natural or organic types have cepacia in them. I asked if it would be OK if cepacia was not found in the ingredients and she said that it was not always listed.

Well now my mind is reeling. I like to buy organic produce for my son. Should I be concerned about it having cepacia on it?

I'm wondering if there is anyone that knows about this issue and what we can do to protect those with CF?

Not to mention I wonder if the CFF or anyone is taking political action to stop using it.

Thanks for any info.

I've tried without much luck to research this -- farmers in our region grow sugar beets and was able to find some documentation regarding cepacia being used to retard rot. Was old data.

I suspect it's all kept "hush-hush" in my area to protect the sugar beet farmers because it's big $$ around here. Not about to let DS take a tour of a sugar beet operation any time soon just in case.

We had a old member, "Allie" who thought her husband had been infected after they went out to the country side...She is no longer on the site, so we can't pick her brain. This is something that you should be aware of with all produce--wash, wash, wash! You don't know how clean ANYONE is when handling your food. My stepdad is a farmer and I won't take Kaylee out there in the spring, when they are adding fertilizer...

About using it in my garden, I do, and just don't let Kaylee play in the soil...
