Honestly never eaten turnips or rutabagas. I'm the youngest of seven - mom gave up trying to feed us weird things long before I came along.

I guess it depends on where you have been and what you touched.

All the focus is on not transmitting coronavirus to the eyes, nose and mouth. I'm assuming that the uglies are just as vulnerable to the virus as the membranes in the "T" zone. But bet millions are thinking nothing about this.

What was the source ?

I was given pre-packaged (tv dinners) food. It smells of cat, and I actually don’t know if it’s okay to eat. Opinions?

If it smells like cat, looks like cat and tastes like cat, just add some of that South Carolina Mustad BarBq sauce.

I'd say no. It enters through your lungs and effects lung tissue.

Now if you need clean hands cause your hands are filthy to prevent other things, like utis, that's an option. Or if you don't want to touch your clothing with germy hands that you might then touch again later and then touch your face with that would make sense. But all evidence points to the virus being setting that enters through your respiratory system and effects mostly lung tissue.

I don't think you can catch the virus through your private parts, though cross contamination if you touch there again and then your face without washing up would be possible.

I grew up with a occasional turnip or two in venison stew. When I left home about the same I might once in awhile get a turnip to add to venison stew. I didn't mind them taste kinda like cabbage to me which I like. Rutabagas I don't think I ever had one until FIL cooked one a few yrs ago he grew for Christmas dinner, mashed with butter, pretty good better than turnips.
I never grew turnips until, and its pretty funny why, until I watched the movie 'War Horse' loved that movie and hated it, super sad. I added turnips to my garden several yrs ago cause of that movie Lol.

I grow turnips not for the root part, but the greens - young, tender turnip greens are pretty good eating! Of course I ended up with a ton of turnip roots too. I turned them into casseroles, stewed them, mashed them. We ate turnips for weeks... couldn't give them away since no one eats them!

Rutabagas I've only had stewed. I can't say I really notice them so I guess they sort of come across as a potato alternative to me?

I'll eat almost anything, so any time I find a recipe with a veggie I haven't had before, or conversely find a veggie at the farmer's market I haven't eaten before, I want to try it. My hubby was raised on meat and potatoes, he says he never imagined he'd try so many different ingredients and types of food until I came along.

That happens to me with parsnips, sunchokes, wild foraged mushrooms and other wild edible plants. No one in my extended family but me will eat anything not found at Wallyworld. SAD

What are their recommendations for keeping critters out of it? The local wild things usually get 85% of what I grow.

Some kindof fencing or screen, or electric fencing . That electric wire made for chickens is great.
