I became a vegetarian because of all the scary stuffs like this.
You can get all kinds of parasites from unwashed or underwashed produce.
Beth Mole, a writer at Ars Technica, has a fun example with Rat Lungworm: Burning in woman’s legs turned out to be slug parasites migrating to her brain.
and so on until it's diagnosed, then some lifecycle/vector explanation:
I think I read somewhere people can live of sun rays or some shit like that. 😆
Damn parasites.
Yup, you're especially at risk from liver worms from things like watercress and other usual parasites when animals defecate over crops, or from farmers using egg-infested water. Always wash and disinfect.
Not just this but definitely helped me in my journey. The whole idea of having to use separate cutting boards and knives just incase you get a terrible infection is totally insane.
I mean, that's a good a selling point as any.
I'd completely understand that, though
Same board three times: fresh veg on a clean board, raw veg after, then raw meat.
I'm trying to do more vegetarian, but hey I made a single chicken boob stretch through a week meal prep so i think I'm doing ok
What's the difference between fresh vegetable and raw vegetables?
Fresh is ready to eat, raw needs cooking
Ahh like potatoes. What other veggies require cooking?
Thanks, i hate it
I like the danger
i mean you can cook food before eating it
