I'm sure that living on a farm on a dirt road with always two large dogs who have the run of the house has guaranteed that 'peck'....it's more the e coli and salmonella and listeria kinds of things that will do you in.... We do have our well water tested regularly. That water ends up in our food and that of our guests.
