In my area (Central Europe) mostly wild animals, foxes in particular

Same here, never had any problems so far, but every so often I hear or read that one should be careful 😅

From what I know rinsing should be good enough, however I have literally no way to back this up, so do your own research. Whenever I have access to clean water I rinse anyway, if it might not help, it certainly won’t hurt.

For instance, this German article says that it is likely a myth that wild berries are an infection vector, since there have not been many / any cases traced back to this source conclusively, but that it is hard to definitively link it to a certain source, since it takes a lot of time from contact to the first symptoms.

Even so, the infection rates are going up in the last few years, but that may be completely unrelated to wether people pick wild berries or not

Yes, very delicious!

And they also grow great in a pot on the balcony, just dig out a plant in the woods, they’ll multiply like weeds

Just wanted to add: If you are in an area where tapeworms or similar parasites are prevalent, be sure to give any wild berries a good rinse before eating

I’m no expert on inspecting bridges, but I’d think that you still would need a professional inspector to do the inspecting, only that they would save the time of actually travelling out to the bridge themselves and instead could do it in their office, no?

And then there are probably things which still need to be done on site, such as non-visual inspections (ultrasound, X-Ray, Vibration testing, Tourque measuring on bolts, paint thickness,…? IDK)
