It is due to the human sewage placed on the vegetables ..

was subsequently postulated, had been sprayed with pesticides mixed with water
that could have been contaminated with human sewage containing Cyclospora --
were the likely source of the Cyclospora outbreak,

Yep, or fruits. There was a case involving hepatitis and raspberries
last year, as I recall. It shows the importance of washing raw fruits
or veggies after you get them home from the store.
