Summer. Heat. Coming back from the office, you see someone selling watermelons and melons right outside your house. The scent of the fruit is so sweet and inviting that walking by is an impossible task. Bees are flying around, and you can already imagine how you cut fruit into beautiful triangular slices, and oh! It's a familiar taste of childhood…

However, you don't think that an evening can end in a hospital with severe poisoning. A poll conducted by the UA Phenomenon NGO among 150 consumers showed that 38% of consumers had food poisoning after eating watermelons and melons at least once in their life.
