Listeriosis: Eating any unwashed melon (watermelon, cantaloupe, etc) can expose you to the food-borne illness of listeriosis. Diarrhea and stomach cramps can be part of this. If you think you may have this problem, see your physician. Treatment is with antibiotics. There were some outbreaks last year. To prevent this illness from happening again: http://www.Cdc.Gov/listeria/prevention.Html.
