I had some today. I feel ok.
Wait…it’s possible to die from eating too much watermelon? Well, TIL, and…I should probably be more careful….
Probably due to food poisoning.
>[Fruits grown on the ground such as cantaloupe (rockmelon), watermelon and honeydew melon have a high risk of causing food poisoning due to Listeria bacteria, which can grow on the rind and spread to the flesh. … If you’re eating melon, make sure to wash the rind.](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/foods-that-cause-food-poisoning)
Happens to the best of us.
Supposedly, an important word to leave out.
I know what I want to do with my life.
