Lettuce parasite

Let me tell you, it ain’t no joke.
For the first 36 hours I would compare it to colonoscopy prep.
For the last couple of weeks it has been sporadic.

Aw man, sorry about that.

Hopefully that clears you for the next ten years

I have to get one every 5 years due to some past issues, nothing major, just preventative.

Google Gemini told me that washing won’t kill the parasite, but thorough cooking will.

Thanks Google, I’ll be sure to cook my Taco Bell lettuce thoroughly.

I wonder if things might be different if we hadn’t gutted everything related to health in early 2025 because Fauci made us wear masks. Could this be the result of cutting off your nose to spite your face?

Definitely. We never had food-borne illnesses before Trump and RFK, so clearly anything that happens from now on is due to MAHA ruining all those logical regulatory controls on industry.

I promise you, those regulations were keeping American consumers safe. They were definitely not keeping Monsanto’s profits safe from competition.

Sigh

IT just seems that since we have been on the path to getting healthier again, we’ve been getting sicker.

Hell, why don’t we blame it on deportations and claim the Mexicans washed the lettuce better.

They are already blaming Biden and immigrants, so why nott?

Huh?

Doubtful. Most likely it was an illegal shitting in the fields.

Typically these outbreaks come from the workers not being clean.

I’ve read some folks saying it’s from Bidens immigration policy and the illegals brought it.

I seen nothing like that

Neither have I. Of course, you can find some post from some ill informed person out there, and then you can say I’ve read …

Lettuce Pray that the situation will resolve itself quickly and cooler heads will prevail.

Every so often this happens. We know the root cause. It’s workers why bad hygiene shitting in the fields. They need better controls to stop that from happening.

Lettuce is a high risk item as it isn’t cooked.
