It's not reported whether the bug resides inside or on the surface of the green stick of death, but I can't see it getting inside unless something put it there. Not surprisingly, as it's green, few children have been infected. Although, IIRC, cucumbers are probably not as offensive to children's taste buds as, for example, spinach or sprouts.
Don't forget your 5 a day.
