On February 9, 1891, the very first shipment of asparagus arrived in San Francisco from Sacramento. Now native San Franciscoers’ pee will smell bad because of them eating asparagus and no longer just because of the rampant syphilis and gonorrhea. A definite improvement for everyone. Except for the people with syphilis and gonorrhea, they’re still up the creek without a paddle and would be for another 46 years until a cure was developed.
