A member asked:
I love fresh salsa but now fear salmonella. what can i do besides grow my own ingredients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Deal with your fear: Assuming you live in a country with good food safety standards, you should eat the salsa. Fresh vegetables are good for you, and in the very unlikely event that you get salmonella, you'll most likely get over it.
