That reminds me of this guy I know. He's afraid of germs and washes his hands as often as he can without causing serious detriment to his social and professional lives but won't use hand sanitiser because then he'll "just have dead germs all over [his] hands," the logic being that the soap will kill them and the running water will rinse them away from his hands.

[Anonymous No.19355643]

>>19355635
So he'd rather have living germs on his hands than dead germs, and hasn't realised that he could just have a pack of wet wipes on him to wipe his hands with?

I found a single cabbage worm in a bag of veg I got down he green grocer. I just calmly removed it and watched it wriggle about on the bench for a bit. Bugs don't really bother me. I'm more disgusted by people touching my food than bugs.

[Spider-Free Delight: Your Ultimate Guide to Keeping Broccoli Arachnid-Free No.19356944]

Selecting Fresh Broccoli: When choosing broccoli at the store or market, inspect it carefully. Look for signs of spider webs or tiny insects lurking in the florets. Opt for fresh, vibrant-looking broccoli with no visible pests. This initial inspection will minimize the risk of spiders making their way into your kitchen.

Rinse Thoroughly: Before cooking or consuming broccoli, give it a thorough rinse. Fill a basin or bowl with cool water and gently submerge the broccoli heads. Swirl them around, ensuring that water reaches all the nooks and crannies. This step will help dislodge any hidden spiders or eggs.

Soaking in Saltwater: To take your spider prevention game a step further, consider soaking the broccoli in saltwater for a few minutes. Dissolve about one tablespoon of salt in a large bowl of water and immerse the broccoli heads. The saltwater solution can help repel spiders and discourage them from making their way into your dish.

Inspect Before Cooking: After rinsing and soaking, give your broccoli one final inspection before cooking. Look closely at the florets, stems, and any crevices where spiders might hide. If you spot any spiders, remove them promptly. Remember, spiders are more scared of you than you are of them!

Cooking Thoroughly: Cooking broccoli properly is not only a delicious way to enjoy it but also an effective method for eliminating any potential spider inhabitants. Steaming, boiling, or stir-frying broccoli at appropriate temperatures will ensure that any lingering spiders are cooked and rendered harmless.

Store Properly: If you have leftover cooked broccoli, store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Spiders are less likely to invade your stored food, especially when it is properly sealed and stored at the correct temperature.
