    From what I understand, that’s not a super reliable way to avoid it. You pretty much have to cook your lettuce to kill it.

      I watched a guest on The Bulwark say it’s a single cell parasite and almost impossible to wash off anything that’s not smooth. It really hides in the nooks and crannies.

      So it’d be impossible to really clean something like a raspberry. You might could carefully remove and dispose of the outer leaves of a head of iceburg lettuce and be safe.

      And that if it’s in a water supply that’s coating the crops we are really in for a shitshow.
