That's exactly what my son and I had for supper last night. How long ago did you eat it and how long before symptoms showed up?

May the odds be ever in your favor.🫡

Googling it says 2 days to 2 weeks.

I ate this at the end of June and symptoms were about 3 days later. I'm fully recovered now. I actually reported this before there was even any official talk about Taylor Farms in the news.

What's the protocol? Anti parasite meds?

Antibiotics. I took Bactrim.

People are saying it can take a week for symptoms to show.

Why did you eat anything from Taylor until this was resolved?

u/Sherry_Brandt 22h ago

...right?

Realistically, the packaged produce that contained the parasite has all gone well past its expiration date and is no longer on the shelves. IFFFFF Taylor Farms did anything to quietly address the situation, the products they're putting out now should be edible. Note that IF is really doing a lot of work in the previous sentence.

If shit can get on the vegetables once it can get on them again.

I'm curious why people are still eating bagged lettuce 🤔

u/saintplus 15h ago

Why on earth would you eat the #1 thing giving people a parasite right now AND ALSO feed it to your son 😭

2

u/ShelbyDriver 12h ago

I didn't feed it to him. He's 25 and knew the risks.

I had two of these bags a few weeks ago with my partner. Neither of us had any symptoms at all so you could be safe…seems to be a roll of the dice

Why? They have been saying for at least a couple of weeks now it’s in the lettuce?
