E coli worry

[MissSunshine]

I have just bought a new juicer as I was to be more healthy

So I will be buying fruit and veg to drink daily,
I read online how to wash fruit and veg properly and went to the NHS site, and now I am paranoid I will catch E coli, I'm frightened of not washing everything properly and getting this horrible food poisoning that i didnt even know existed before :( I really dont want this to stop me getting healthy and eating fresh fruit and veg! cos knowing my health anxiety I will come to paranoid about it all,
I washed my fruit today in a bowl of cold water and rubbed them before putting them in the juicer, but i just keep telling myself was that enough?

argh health anxiety sucks x

I never wash fruit and veg I just eat it lol.

Really? I've always just ran the fruit/veg under the tap briefly because I never knew how harmful it could be..Is the E coli overrated do you think?

[nomorepanic]

Well I have never caught it and I have a sensitive stomach so I guess I would if anyone would.

Most is thoroughly washed now before it is sold and there is no harm in washing it under a tap but you don't need to be obsessive over it.

Yeah I have survived many years not doing this and I'm fine
