    Err, your immune system can cope with a bit of bacteria. But if you don’t wash your salad and get a massive load into yourself, your body will deal with it by extorting everything in your stomach. E.g. you’ll puke the entire night. You’re welcome.

      When you rinse salad with water you are not cleaning a significant amount of bacteria off it. You’re getting soil and bugs.

      Unless your salad is contaminated with something, not washing it will at worst be gritty and unpleasant. It won’t make you ill. If it does, washing it will make no difference.
