I'm so glad your GD is okay-that can be scarey. Will wash veggies and fruit more carefully after reading this.
I learned something new the other day: wash cantelopes and watermellons before cutting. Even tho we don't eat the outside, when cutting them the knife can force bacteria or pesticides inside the fruit. (Makes sense now that I think about it.)
How did we live this long? I remember eating fruit from the store or tree without washing when I was young LOL>
