      I’m not an expert, but the article specifically mentions that it’s impossible to wash Salmonella off cantaloupes.

      Regardless, my wife and I stopped eating cantaloupes about 15 years ago. There are hard-skinned melons that are just as tasty and a lot safer. (Well, watermelon. Honeydew isn’t as tasty, imho.)
