since I am shopping on my own these days, this crossed my mind a few days ago when I was picking out some lemons the other day that how many other "dirty" hands have touch these lemons; so I started just squeezing the juice into my ice tea and throwing lemon away

I agree but irradiation kills everything THEN but I do not think it keeps on killing. Hence, once in the store and how many dirty hands have pick over the lemons?

Just put some damned bleach in the rinse/wash water. When your immune system is in the tank ala "chemo", that's how you prevent an infection from "raw" veggies, etc. If you need the dosage, try Google.:rolleyes:

Why not just buy bottled Lemon Juice like I do for cooking and my hot tea?

Because a bottle is not convenient to carry around and the yellow wedge looks pretty.

28% of all life on this planet, by total mass, is bacteria. You may as well adapt to the little buggers cause you ain't getting away from them. :D

That's why God gave us an immune system.

So we could have peace of mind when there are lemons in our tea. ;)
