[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, this is a reminder to wash your produce--especially your organic produce--very well. [/quote] why the organic one in particular?[/quote] Well the intent of organic farming is to use less pesticides, so ergo, organic produce is more likely to contain parasites/parasite eggs. Some organic farming practices such as using untreated human manure fertilizer (legal in Canada and Mexico and likely other parts of the world) can transmit parasite eggs (often microscopic) to the harvested produce. Well, if you really would like to be grossed out, google the following terms: Ascaris (males can reach 1 foot in length), Ascaris lifecyle, and Ascaris anesthesia. [/quote] Nooooo please. I buy organic everything. WTF[/quote]
