I’ve been quite concerned about this, given that my son is going to be in Berlin and a couple of other places in Germany for more than a month, from late July until early September. I know that people are being advised not to eat cucumbers, lettuce, or tomatoes, so it seems to me that not eating salad at all would be an excellent idea for him. Not an issue that people generally expect to encounter when they visit a “First World” country, but there’s nothing to be done about it other than being careful.
