As far as I Know, drops that are normaly used to kill bacteria, dont kill 
cysticerci. In some vegetables or fruits such as letuce or strawberries 
can be easily found, and when you wash them, they can hide in the rough 
areas. I Know that if you boil them you can kill them, but what do I do if 
I am a vegetarian who has to eat salads or fancy fresh strawberries?
