Question: are lemons dirty in restaurants?
Answer: In fact, a 2007 study found that nearly 70% of restaurant lemon wedges are covered in up to 25 different types of germs. Among them: fecal matter, E. Coli, and contamination from raw meat. And it wasn't just the lemons' rinds — the pulps on 29% of the dirty lemons were crawling in bacteria, too.
