    Just cook ‘em.

    It’s only uncooked stuff that’s a problem. Make wilted spinach or collard greens instead of a salad. Steam some broccoli. Cook some fruit in to a pie.

    Cryptosporidium is difficult to wash off, but easily killed by getting the temp above 150 for a few minutes.

    Edit: just want to add, boiling stuff kills bacteria, parasites and viruses.You don’t necessarily have to reach boiling to ensure safety. More time at a lower temp often works, but at boiling point any living thing that is a danger to you will be dead instantly. So if you’re not sure, if you don’t have a source you can rely on, boil it. There are edge cases where this doesn’t apply like lead, or botulism(improperly done home canning). But generally, when systems fail and you still need to eat and drink, boil it. It will save your life.
