I’ve been eating unwashed produce my entire life, I’ve never had a problem… But have I ever taken the time to research it? No. It turns out that many of these fruits and veggies - especially those that are eaten raw - like bean sprouts, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, and strawberries - can easily transmit bacteria like Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli, along with a whole host of other nefarious critters, including tiny parasites usually carried by snails, which can lead to meningitis - that is, inflammation of the brain.
