You know, it’s kind of wild how vegetables can give you the heebie-jeebies if you’re not careful. While they’re usually the good guys in our diet, sometimes they can surprise you in not-so-pleasant ways. Did you know that the idea of “food poisoning” from veggies isn’t just a horror story from the latest health blog? It turns out that bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli can hitch a ride on fresh produce if it’s not washed properly. I mean, who knew a carrot could have such a devious side? But before you swear off your salad, remember: good hygiene and cooking are your best allies. Just a little TLC can keep your veggies as friendly as they look!
