The answer is a bitter truth. Yes we do get tapeworms from taking salads.. Tapeworms are not only associted with uncooked or improperly cooked pork or beef,but also with unwashed or improperly washed vegetable..

I didn't know that! I wish you had posted this yesterday before I stopped at Wendy's on the way home from work and picked up two salads. I will be sure to wash any veggies I buy before using them since you told me about this.

Oh my!! WE DO??????? I did not know this at all. I mean can this be hazerdous of some sort. I have always heard that if meat and certain foods were not cooked or prepared right then it could be unhealthy to our body. But never in a million years would i have thought that Lettuce was included. That kinda makes me not want to stop at a fast food returant and buy salads now. Our salad already prepared in the bags.
