OK. I tried growing vegetables but I'm too squeamish to eat them.

    I think there is a whole mass (cosmos) of questions not to ask, places in not to dwell. You should (I can) never think about water content while swimming in a pool, or ponder on all the microbes living on your skin, eye lashes or in your pillow or the faecal content covering most bathrooms - from lightbulb to toothbrush. The facts should reign. Caterpillars, swimming pool water, eyelash mites, and toilet flushing isn't going to harm you. So let it go, I say. Move your mind away and learn how to focus on helpful mental loops. You are letting worry of harmless stuff rule your life. It is very possible and useful to learn other ways.

    I tried crickets. Legs get stuck in teeth. They say it's like peanuts but you don't have to try to get tiny legs out of your teeth after eating peanuts.

    When I was a child, I stayed at my grandad's sometimes.  there was lovely spring water from the well -and then I learnt about amoeba 

    And then there's the droplets from the flushed toilet landing on your toothbrush.

    our bodies are a war zone equipped to deal with most of that stuff. I'm still not eating that broccoli.

    Cauliflower would be ok. I think things would show up better.😉

    I was overjoyed the other day to find a slug in a bought lettuce, my OH knew a commercial lettuce grower, he said it took 10 weeks to grow and was sprayed the same amount of times!

    @pansyface. I always check scores on the doors and hope for the best😊
    @Helix that would've been the sensible thing to do,I suppose.
