I eat salads all of the time as I am not overly fond of local meat, and even when pregnant I was never sick once from a salad.
The only time I have ever tasted arak was when it was the free drink upon sitting down at a restaurant, I nearly spat it out it tasted so awful. I wouldn't touch the stuff, especially when there are so many delicious drinks to be had instead.
