001.  at arstechnica.com, Beth Mole writes in "Homeopathic Co. Expands Recall as FDA Warns of 'Life-threatening' Infections" (2018-08-29):

"homeopathic product maker King Bio has now expanded a recall to include all of its water-based human and animal treatments—a vast list including nearly 600 products. The expansion comes as the Food and Drug Administration announced it found 'high levels of microbial contamination' that appears to be recurring and has the potential to cause 'life-threatening' infections [...] a recent FDA inspection of King Bio’s manufacturing facility, the agency discovered that 'several' microbial contaminants had turned up in the company’s products, including the bacteria Burkholderia multivorans. This is an opportunistic pathogen that causes severe illnesses in people with compromised immune systems and is a rare but emerging cause of meningitis. The FDA added that it also found evidence indicating 'recurring microbial contamination associated with the water system used to manufacture drug products'";

wow.  And we know how much water it takes to make homeopathic dilutions...
