Eating wild berries straight from the bush risks dangerous parasite infection
Eating wild berries directly from the bush without washing them can be dangerous, as the fruit may be contaminated with eggs of the tapeworm Echinococcus, carried by foxes and other wild animals. Echinococcosis is a serious disease that can damage the liver and lungs. Doctors advise thoroughly washing all wild berries before eating them.
