When you sit down and try to understand the true nature of the
problem, you won't worry about this.  If you read up on say,
Nematodes, you'll discover than every vegan eats something like one
hundred thousand to one million animals every day.  At this point, it
becomes necessary to compromise on the "no using animal products/no
eating animals" principle, and ask "What can I live with?"
