This article still says "populations of the microbe were 10 times 
higher on young leaves than on middle ones."  I extracted portions 
from that report, of course, but are we to sit around and deny our

Romaine are older than the outer leaves?  Haven't you ever grown 
Romaine lettuce?  Margaret Lauterbach
