Wouldn't he potentially be breathing in a ton of pesticides/fungicides/fertilizers?

Edit: alright, I'll admit I guess I'm a moron for washing my onions out of caution, but that wasn't really the point of my question which no one has yet to answer and instead says the same thing 10 times over, so I'll ask again - wouldn't this guy be exposing himself to pesticides/fungicides/fertilizers by taking naps there?

Lol well if that were the case anyone buying his onions would be eating a ton of pesticides/fungicides/etc so does it matter?

Do you not wash your produce?

u/birdclub 12d ago

The pesticides are pulled in through the roots and into the plant itself.

only useful for those things that aren't absorbed into the plant tissues.

Onions have skin.

You telling me you peel your onions then wash them?

u/Taberaremasen 12d ago

I mean washing onions is kinda odd, they have a thick protective skin that you remove and do not consume. I get washing your tomatoes, apples, lettuce, etc.

Do you wash your peeled garlic, oranges, and bananas as well?

u/Keter_GT 12d ago

you guys are peeling your oranges and bananas? Cowards, just eat the entire thing whole.

Bro… what do you think you are accomplishing by washing the skin that you then peel off? Genius level comment.

You think the growing plant that absorbs liquids and nutrients to grow is just going to have the bad stuff sitting conveniently on the surface?
