False E-mail Reports The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Infectious Diseases states that the current email rumor circulating about Costa Rican bananas causing the disease necrotizing fasciitis is false. We have not heard any reports of cases of necrotizing fasciitis associated with bananas. There is no evidence that necrotizing fasciitis is transmitted by food. The bacteria which most commonly cause necrotizing fasciitis live in the human body. The usual route of transmisson for these bacteria is from person to person. The CDC Press Office has issued a notice at the CDC Web site.
