eating unwashed fruit??

[Bethandfreddie]

okay I'm a big worrier, and just had half an apple that I didn't even realise the core was looking dirty or mouldy? I did give it a wash before I ate but didn't check underneath if that makes sense? Now I'm worried about toxoplasmosis and all that.

I will post a pic, please don't be mean about my worries it's just how I am and I am getting help!

Hey hun. I have such bad anxiety and ocd this would send me into a meltdown but please don’t let it with you. Firstly you didn’t eat the core where it’s not washed. Personally I’d be drinking loads of water to flush myself out. Try not to panic, it’s not like you ate the bad bit x

You will be absolutely fine this won't cause any harm to you or your baby :)

You'll be fine, I never wash fruit or veg.

You'll be fine.

I always wash fruit since I worked picking strawberries in the school holidays and the children there with their Mums used to pee on them! - the strawberries, that is!

You'll be absolutely fine. How do you think older generations went on when they ate all the things your generation is now told not to eat?

toxoplasmosis is only really dangerous if its the first time you come into contact with it. unless you always wash your fruit and veg very thoroughly it's likely you've already been in contact with it and baby will be fine

I thought Toxoplasmosis was associated with soil grown veggies and fruits. As in at ground or below ground.

I wouldn't worry. But in future wash and scrub them. I use white vinegar with all fruits and veggies. It is also helpful to wash all the pesticides unless your eating organic.
