STOCKTON - Farmers charged with monitoring the nasties that drain off their farms haven't found many pesticides, but they are finding alarmingly high levels of fecal bacteria.
Traces of E. coli, a bacterium formed in the lower intestines of mammals and birds, has been found in almost every site tested by two farm groups, according to a University of California, Davis, professor who performed the work.
In humans, E. coli can cause diarrhea, serious illness and even death.
