Wouldn’t a simple washing of the produce before eating remove the microbes?

For most a “simple washing” means running some cool tap water over the vegetables. This is typically not enough to even get rid of the tiny slugs which carry Rat lung worm disease which is the leading causes of meningitis in many parts of the world which often results in death. The little slugs are millions of times larger than microbes.

If you want to pay twice as much eat scrawny dirty looking organic vegetables from Mexico etc... where their hygienic standards are much less than they are here that is your business. Scrub away.
