DaasYochid and others:you will have to tell me why this custom of washing with soap and other extreme methods (peel a strawberry?) Only originated in very recent years. No one said this in europe for many decades nor do we find this in Poskim. Neither do I remember this being required in the fifties and sixties. Has there been an extra infestation of pests in the last two decades? However, to respect your points I will check strawberries with a magnifying glass and I will oireport on my efforts.
