The outside of the water melon is sprayed with pesticides. If you are not careful you can ingest some of those chemicals which can cause sickness, etc....

I have never heard of that one ! I dont think so ! We eat all the watermelon here, save the rind and I havent ever seen or heard of that ! More likely to get it from eating an unwashed watermelon that has been exposed to bacteria !

if that is true, i wonder why i'm not affected. from young i've been taught not to waste food/fruits, so i eat watermelon close to the rind all the time, especially when it's particularly sweet and juicy!!! :P mmm... i don't think you will get diarrhea... i'm 22 yr old with no such incident... same with my siblings and parents... :)
go ahead and eat it up if you want to!

No, just eating too much watermelon does it.

I haven't, and I have eaten pretty close to the green part. It might be different for each person, though
