me vs the guy @selentelechia tells me not to worry about https://t.co/Q6JDERrRAt

@eigenrobot Mom used to try to pull this on me until I ate an entire raw onion like this.Protip: ranch dressing can be healthy for you if you make it with kefir/buttermilk and natural herbs. The kefir neutralize many bad bacteria.Store lettuce is not good though. https://t.co/vpfoIhhz8S

@eigenrobot You are more likely to die from the lettuce than anything else affaict. "Lethal Weapon" https://t.co/SbvNDeuQda https://t.co/nttwZPAVCJ

@eigenrobot x-risk of lettuce causing a massive outbreak of contagious disease.... not good. https://t.co/rLfQsNajTR

@eigenrobot So if it was real authentic ranch dressing, it might literally make him live longer than the lettuce.https://t.co/XLPyRMGkN6https://t.co/EI8WPUPTQt https://t.co/O4NcgRfxoB


@eigenrobot I mix kimichi into my ice cream, YMMV https://t.co/HfGJh7EGl3

@eigenrobot One of the more interesting things about authentic fermented ranch dressing is that many of the sulfurous herbs added to it (as well as the kefir/buttermilk itself) can help the body resist the heavy metals that are sometimes in lettuce. https://t.co/zF4KShLr0S https://t.co/Tqu18Ov7KF


@eigenrobot (sorry for the rant, been obsessed with identifying wild lettuce the past few days after seeing https://t.co/LOpG0pONsk )

@eigenrobot "The researchers were a little surprised to find such differences in E. coli survival [...] many current hypotheses about the seasonality of outbreaks linked to lettuce focus on differences in the prevalence of the E. coli pathogen in the environment." https://t.co/rIeDw3tUbK

@eigenrobot I bet somewhere in our history there are stories about wild lettuce being haunted by fall demons, and there are rituals involving lacto-fermentation and storage that fight it. https://t.co/dFggtgQLhi

@eigenrobot All we got now? "just make it cold bro"https://t.co/DNNSZGCMhoAnd other things that don't account for that odd seasonal resilience of E. Coli.

@eigenrobot Studying the history of lettuce in our myths and stories to understand how to stop an E. Coli demon.https://t.co/dZWYVvM0DF

@eigenrobot Did you know Kefir fights E. Coli infections?https://t.co/U5apR6qFhB
