Don't gamble with your health. Skip oysters on the menu, or clams for that matter, if you live in the State of Washington. The Department of Health has issued a warning about the detection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a close relative of Vibrio cholerae, in oysters from local waters. Play it safe by cooking oysters thoroughly to get rid of bacteria and any taste whatsoever. You can read more and really curtail your appetite on the DOH site.
On the upside, I was about to clean my garage, but do I really want to get Hantavirus? Better leave the mess alone.
