Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the infection being discussed

The question asks about preventing _Vibrio vulnificus_ infections. _Vibrio vulnificus_ is a bacterium commonly found in raw or undercooked seafood, particularly oysters.

Step 2: Analyze the options
  • Carefully washing salad greens: This helps prevent various foodborne illnesses, but not specifically _Vibrio vulnificus_, which is associated with seafood.
  • Cooking pork until it is well done: _Vibrio vulnificus_ is not associated with pork. Thoroughly cooking pork prevents other foodborne illnesses.
  • Cooking beef until it is well done: Similar to pork, _Vibrio vulnificus_ is not associated with beef. Thoroughly cooking beef prevents other foodborne illnesses.
  • Not eating raw seafood: This directly addresses the primary source of _Vibrio vulnificus_ infections.

Final Answer: The correct answer is not eating raw seafood.
