I prefer my lettuce without any body part that isnt anything but the outer skin of a hand. I think if one does have any type of wound, they should still protect it and the food from any type of bacteria, flesh-eating or not.
And also, cross contamination is also a thing so let's all remember to put some order in our fridges if we do have raw carnie food, and prewash before preparing.
