[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 332085, member: 1963"] Good Grief! Marge! The gardening neighbor is out of her skull! husband had a certification as a Food Safety Inspector so he could go around to other outlets and inspect their kitchens. He was an absolute demon about cleanliness and proper food handling and storage. He also was a gardening nut and in addition to a huge herb garden, he had a good sized plot of veggies as well. We picked off the caterpillars and bugs all the time. The only thing we put "on" the plants were ladybugs and praying mantises (it's a bit unnerving to have this rather large, bright green insect, turn it's head to follow you, LoL) Yeah, I've found the occasional critter in my salad back in those days. You just rinsed and picked it over some more before using it. Here in the US we do have a few caterpillars that are poisonous, but they are either very brightly colored as a warning, or are covered with bristly, stinging hairs. I know there are some varieties where getting stung could kill you very quickly and nastily, but they seem to be confined to tropical areas. We had a neighbor who actually freaked out over BEES coming to her garden. She couldn't be made to understand that the bees were actually what pollinate fruits and veggies. [/QUOTE]
