🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS - Parasitic infection is real and underdiagnosed in the US, but it's not universal — pinworm is the genuinely common one, and it's mostly a kids-and-households story - The most common household routes are unglamorous: pets on furniture, young children, and shared food and utensils - "Triple washed" is a processing description, not a sterilization claim— it reduces contamination, it doesn't eliminate it - Standard advice is NOT to re-wash pre-washed bagged greens at home — see the note below, this surprised us too - Giardia from untreated pond, lake, or stream water is one of the most common ways Americans actually get a parasite - If you have persistent GI symptoms, unexplained fatigue, or changes in stool lasting more than a week, that's a conversation with a doctor — not a reason to buy a cleanse online
