On that subject, be sure to always wash the outside of melons. Most people don't, and many food poisoning cases can be traced to it.

While the odds are good eating unwashed fruit (covered with feces or not) isn't likely to make one sick its still fairly disgusting.

Given a choice I'll wash every fruit/veggie I eat.

What soap do you guys use to wash your fruit? Not seeing anything at Amazon specifically for fruit or melon washing.

Do you wash it with soap? If you shit on your hand, I don't think running water on it for 20 seconds is going to get it all out... Just saying... That's all I was ever taught to do.

I tend to simply live better in life not over-analyzing "what ifs" for everyday tasks. In general it just seems healthier :\

It isn't even the feces. It's the fact that they sit in open and dirty cardboard boxes, getting shipped around on dirty trucks, go through dirty warehouses/distribution center and then finally make it to the store.

A peroxide wash works to neutralize most pesticide residue and bacteria. Just search on 'peroxide fruit' to get some suggestions. I use about a quarter cup of 5% peroxide in about a quart of water to clean 6oz of blackberries. Let them soak for about 20 minutes and rinse 2 or 3 times.

Just had some Moon Drop™ grapes. Those things are enormous. It's like eating real food, and the poop makes them taste better. I didn't wash them.

What about the first guy to see a Civet cat take a dump after eating coffee beans and thinking -- say, I wonder how those coffee beans might taste now?

How about when you get some free protein in your fruit?
