Wash thoroughly

Our news media has recently been agog about a story of a woman who had a live worm surgically removed from her brain. I notice that the story has also been reported internationally. Here is a local version

The connection with today's Blip is that the 'brain worm' was identified as a species that lives as a parasite in the digestive system of large snakes called Carpet Pythons. The worm's eggs are excreted by the snake. It's thought that, in this case, the woman inadvertently ate worm eggs after collecting and eating wild spinach. 

Which is a long and round about background to the photo of Warrigal Greens I took today in the garden of a local friend.
