    When you rinse salad with water you are not cleaning a significant amount of bacteria off it. You’re getting soil and bugs.

    Unless your salad is contaminated with something, not washing it will at worst be gritty and unpleasant. It won’t make you ill. If it does, washing it will make no difference.

      What do you even mean? Obviously, you are washing off all the bacteria that is in the soil and the bugs. It doesn’t make it sterile, but rinsing makes the overall amout of bacteria significantly lower…

        Yes I suppose that’s true.

      Clearly you haven’t heard of rat lungworm.

        Sure, if you live somewhere with parasitic worms you should take extra care. Still, you aren’t cleaning bacteria off anything with water.
