I lightly rinse everything. More to flush out any wildlife than to properly clean it, though I also lightly rinse things that couldn’t be hiding critters, like apples and pears, so…not always logical.

I discovered a long time ago that perfect-looking bunches of grapes - the ones that look like illustrations of grape bunches - are tight enough so spiders like to make nests there, so I never buy perfect-looking ones now, only loosely-arranged ones, but I still wash grapes pretty well. I soak blueberries in a bowl for a moment because the too-soft ones float, which makes things easier, and I only eat raspberries when they’re actually in a bowl of water, and I still pull them apart because I expect to find tiny worms. (Funnily enough I’ve never found a worm in raspberries from the store, but when we used to go pick them ourselves, about 50% of them had little white worms.)

I am borderline irrational about critters in my food. I know most of them can’t hurt me if I eat them, but they still ick me out.

During chemo I had to scrub my lettuce and spinach and other leaves. Lettuce especially. My oncologist would have preferred me to not eat them at all, because they pick up E. coli easily - a lot of E. coli outbreaks get traced back to lettuce - but my compromise was to only eat them at home once I’d scrubbed them, which lowers the risk (but doesn’t remove it totally; some of the bacteria finds its way into the plant cells, though scrubbing apparently gets a lot of it off). The scrubbing sucked, and I did eat a lot fewer salad leaves because of it, but the one time I ate a pre-prepared sandwich with lettuce - from the hospital cafeteria! - I got food poisoning. Food poisoning during chemo is…unpleasant. (Not terribly pleasant at other times, to be fair.)
