Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm also not going to say that take it lightly right I mean we know history we knew about the Bubonic plague measles Ms and you know there's been swine flu scares
if you're too lazy to do the rest of the stuff at least freeze it for 48 hours cuz it kills the parasite
all I am is a media a medium between the story and this so do your own research if you're concerned about it
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Always wear shoes and gloves in the garden and outside areas of your home.
✓Wash all produce, vegetables, and fruit with running water; do not soak them.
✓If you cannot wash thoroughly, freeze produce for more than 48 hours to kill the parasite.
✓Use labeled tongs to move semi-slugs; never use your hands.
✓Cook food to at least 165°F or the boiling point of 212°F to ensure the parasite is dead.
