Artichokes?

Are they ok?

Why wouldn't they be?

My DH was just telling me that to prepare them he put salt in the water to "kill the bugs and stuff" - so, I freaked out a bit and asked...

Call me crazy, but I don't think salt kills any "bugs." Perhaps drowning in boiling water may.

I'm not worried about having to peel my baby

Was asking more if there was a bigger risk for parasites or anything...I think I posted too quickly...it was instinct after hearing "bugs" - more a general question than "while pregnant" question...just gross to hear...

There are "bugs" everywhere.

Including in bed at night with you. 

Eat your artichoke bugs.
