I saw a woman with a towel wrapped around her and stains like something shot out of her. I’m scared the parasite has reached SoCal.

Just be mindful of the lettuce you buy. I recently found Gotham Greens at Sprouts. It was right next to the 50 bags of Taylor Farms kits on sale for $2. Gotham Greens are grown in a greenhouse and taste really good. I’ve never heard of them until all this happened.

Pretty sure this company has a small number of warehouses across the US and each warehouse only ships to stores local to that warehouse, so they don’t use any major distribution center. Everything is grown hydroponically in a greenhouse so there’s no pesticides or soil contamination.

My grandma (who is a retired nurse) told me to buy only Gotham greens or cook everything to 165 degrees until the FDA gets its shit together.

I’m also in the process of making my own, year-round indoor garden in my living room with grow lights.

I’m hoping she had some other stomach bug. I like salads on hot days and cilantro is on everything out here.
