What do you think of potatoes, then, which grow in a mixture of soil and manure? Or carrots?
The beach is a nesting ground of vast biomes of creatures, singled-celled, through to vast arrays of worms, some parasitic, all the way up to burrowing arthropods like sand fleas and their many, many cousins. We don't usually have problems with any of this stuff when we swim or hang out on the sand because... and I cannot stress this enough, we do not eat raw produce we find in the sand.
Please do not eat raw produce you find in the sand.
I wouldn't eat carrots from the ocean either
What about tuna?
I wouldn't eat tuna if it washed up on the beach
I mean, I peel them and wash them right after. Then I cook them in boiling water or fry on a pan. Not eat raw.
Loads of people wash, peel, and eat raw carrots, though. It's not unhygienic at all.
Yep. Lots of us do, me included. The only thing is that I peel them first and then wash them thoroughly before eating. I do not wash bananas. But I also do not buy bananas washed up on the shore.
Quite frankly it's disgusting. That's why I only eat food that has lots of healthy e numbers, MSG, and added sugar. As God intended.
