<pre>Guido,

Olive oil supports anaerobic forms of life. The literature contains at
least one report of death from Clostridium botulinum and numerous
hospitalisations.

I think there is an international document which reports on food
poisoning outbreaks but I can't find the reference, perhaps someone else
in the group knows the full title.

Yours,
Dan
