 need to stop ordering drinks with a lemon wedge. Half of the lemon wedges collected at restaurants in one study contained human fecal matter. And in another, 70% were crawling with all sorts of other bacteria. And it kind of makes sense. Servers are handling cash, menus, and all sorts of other gross things. And anyone who's ever waited tables can tell you that hand washing sometimes falls through the cracks when you're triple sat during Sunday brunch. But if you really can't go without that lemon, squirt it into the drink and discard it instead of just tossing it in.
