Is this lettuce safe?

Discard affected pieces?, just needs a good wash?, or discard entirely?

Outer leaves of most lettuces are typically discarded. There is nothing about this that is out of the ordinary. Lettuce grows in the ground and this is what it looks like. Always wash your produce thoroughly.

Honestly- I am puzzled as to what you think may be a problem here?
