I spray my collards with liquid Sevin whenever cabbage worms appear.
I am apprehensive about eating the leaves and I wish to know if after
careful washing the collard leaves, are they safe to consume?

Read the label:

Do not use within 14 days on Chinese cabbage, collards, kale, or mustard
greens.

"BT" might be a better choice, and is nontoxic.
