One of my favorite summer coolers is a few
lemon peels soaking in a pitcher of water.

It seems though, that every day brings
a new salmonella scare.

Normally, I'd just rinse the lemons with cold water before peeling.
Is this gonna kill the germs ?
Should I even worry ?

( though I shudder when I see folks
pawing through the lemon bin at the grocers )
