Lodestone, we wash everything that comes from our yard or anybody else's. I often see slugs and snails ON the papayas and mulberrys, way up the tree. We just dump all fruit/vegis in one of the kitchen sinks or a bucket on the lanai. If it's still in the sink or bucket, it's (potentially) contaminated. If it's on the counter, fruit bowl or frig, it's already washed. There's a method to my madness...
Imwithstupid (love the handle!) Thanks for the advise about diatomaceous earth. Think I'll get some and surround my water tanks with it. I've also heard it's really good to put under your house. Discourages all sorts of bug activity. Good info here!
Haven't really seen a slug for months (so dry now) but I'd rather prevent than treat disease.
