Perfect timing! Watch the following clips, you will be enlightened and creeped out all at the same time.
Lovely sneeze on Glee!

Food Safety at the Food Court!
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/40220033/ns/today-today_health/
What do you think about all of this? What have you learned in Microbiology that you can relate to these stories?
The article and video regarding food safety was interesting. I have been in the restaurant industry for almost 10 years, and while I'm not going to claim that every restaurant is perfect, the news media has a way of using scare tactics when it comes to their news stories.
ReplyDeleteThe article regarding food court food gave us a look at how temperature can affect the growth of bacteria. It also showed us how bacteria from people are tranfered to our food by not wearing gloves and hairnets. The video, showed us an example of how seafood is being pumped full of antibiotics, which can lead to antibiotic resistance. The seafood is also being raised in unsanitary water conditions.
When I read these articles and see these videos regarding food safety, I try to take it with a grain of salt because I'd rather not know. I understand awareness is important, but being too aware of how our food is being raised and prepared will make us a crazy and paranoid society. I guess I'll just take my chances.
The video about sea food was horrible! Thankfully I do not like seafood. I also think that the FDA is trying their best, considering the amount of money and resources they have available. I also know how the media can take things and blow them out of proportions.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite video was the one about food courts. I work in the food industry so I understand the things the health department looks for when they do the inspections. It is scary how many food court places had critical violations, those are the ones nobody should fail. Critical violations are things like food temperatures, rodents, bugs, proper employee hygiene, etc. No place serving food should fail these, its not that hard, I know! I also know that in a place like the food court it is hard to pin point who the problem is. All the vendors are touching eachother and the food court is usual near its own entrance where the doors could be open all day, however there is still no excuse for mixing up raw meat and salsa! Its common sense! Now I am afraid of the food court... thats one more thing to add to the list of things microbiology has made me afraid of.
These videos were very interesting. To be honest, I wasn't shocked when I watched the video on imported seafood. I always figured that is how we got our seafood anyway! Well, I don't eat much seafood so that is probably why I dont find this disturbing!
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, the video on food court vendors was a little creepy. It is a little disturbing to know that these employees can make such small changes to make a difference in their food saftey. Things like wearing gloves and hair nets can make a difference. Keeping meats sealed and at a decent temperature can keep deadly bacteria from growing.
Being in microbiology has definitely changed my view on the microbial world. I find myself washing my hands a lot more than usual now !
Dayna, I'm glad I'm not the only one washing my hands more often! This class is making me even more neurotic than I was before.
ReplyDeleteThis class will make one a little microbe-phobic. It's good to have a new awareness of potential problems and how to increase public health and safety (and our own). And, handwashing is the #1 thing we can do to avoid getting sick and passing diseases on to others. Check yourself in six months though, you will probably be back to your normal self and eating off the floor (just kidding, mostly). Hopefully you will still be washing your hands......
ReplyDeleteWOW that was one gnarly sneeze on GLEE!! I think that consumers should be able to decide if they are pleased with the origin of their seafood products before they make their purchase. The food court video has really pushed me away from Food courts for a REALLY long time. In Microbiology this semester I learned a lot about bacteria, parasites, diseases, viruses and so much more. When I saw the Glee video I remembered the cycle of diseases and how diseases can be transmitted. Such as airborne and direct contact the difference between water droplets and aerosols is that water droplets are larger pieces of moisture that drop faster because they are heavier. Aerosols on the other hand are what we produce when we sneeze; tiny droplets of moisture that will float for some distance and stay airborne. I also learned about the bacterium that grows in food and causes food poisoning; Bacillus cereus. Bacterium such as the one mentioned can occur when hot food is kept too cold or cold food is kept too hot. In addition, Rodents and insects can be vectors for serious diseases and parasites. E. coli is a naturally occurring organism yet it causes food poisoning by cross contamination and lack of safe food handling. This course has made me so much more aware of my surroundings and the little microbes that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
ReplyDeleteAseptic technique is really important! Since microorganisms are ubiquitous, whether good or bad, it can affect us greatly. Food handling should be done the proper way, how they are grown, when processing, etc.. because microorganisms are everywhere!
ReplyDeleteThough, I love seafoods, I must say I'm starting to think twice about eating seafood simply because we are not sure where we get ours. Since it is transported internationally, it has potentials of catching anything on its way. It is so important to be aware of our everyday actions because like that scene from glee, we can easily get someone sick especially in a hospital environment. I started my training for the hospital as an intern and they said as a precaution, one should just stay home if they are sick. Its so interesting how these obvious stuff have been around for so long but we don't actually take the time to think about it. Taking microbiology really opened up my eyes to so many things. Thank you for sharing, professor!
-Steph M.
I just ate dinner and this makes me sick to my stomach. I worked in food service in high school and was always disguted. I cook a lot at home now.
ReplyDeleteI am curious with the fish, they said that there was no way to cook out the antibiotics that were so harmful. Are there other ways to kill bacteria and remove harmful elements from meat?
I think that even at home it is so important to keep clean food prep areas and to wash hands frequently and thouroughly.
We eat a lot of fish and now I will definitely be sure when I go to the seafood counter to ask where it is coming from.
My boyfriend gets mad at me all the time because this class is making me so neurotic about cleaning and germs and bacteria! I think there may be such a thing as too much knowlegde and that sometimes a little bit of ignorance is bliss.
Well.....shrimp used to be my favorite food until today. Thank you Mrs Burke.... I really appreciate the knowledge that I've acquired by watching these videos. It makes me sick to my stomach that I have been eating this on a regular basis. You could almost say that I will minimize my seafood diet. If it wasn't enough that I'm already eating tofu & brown rice everyday...now my favorite food is out of my list....
ReplyDeletebut it gets worst!
To my knowledge most of our food that we've acquired in the groceries have been tampered with already, and usually have some kind of toxin or not of a nutritious value. This can explain why no matter how much food I ate, milk I drank I never gotten to my desired height. It's a shame that we can't have very clean food.
Also I'd like to return the favor by stating that our water supply is contaminated. If you take a look closely into our tap water you can find flouride in it. Flouride is known as a poison. Flouride is used in our toothpaste... if you read the label on your Crest toothpaste or whatever brand you use...it says do not swallow & call the Poison Control Center right away. Please watch these videos :)

What I've learned from Microbiology and what I can relate this video to... organisms are living everywhere and no matter what we do we're in danger. Even having asceptic technique in the lab is not enough to prevent a pathogenic organism from harming you. I've taken precautions by disinfecting my tables, walls, floors by using bleach wipes every other day. God save us!
The videos were interesting, but i feel like the news is just trying to scare us with an iteresting story. The story is very biased and one-sided. Of course some fast food places will be cleaner or dirtier, just use common sense. If you see bugs or food being handled or cooked improperly, don't eat it and let them know. Im still gonna eat seafood and go to the food court.
ReplyDeleteThanks goodness I hate seafood! That video reallllllyy creeped me out and made me thankful that I don't eat any of that haha! I think the sneezing video creeped me out even more, especially since you told us how far a sneeze travels. I feel like I have to shield myself every time someone sneezes!
ReplyDeleteAlthough Microbiology has made me extremely neurotic (like April had mentioned) I am kind of glad that it has because it has definitely made me more aware of everything that is around me. I know now how to take the necessary precautions to protect myself from the microbe world!
The sneeze on glee was pretty perfect, most people do not realize all of that comes out and floats around in the air because we can't really see it. I found myself making a grossed out face while watching the clip.
ReplyDeleteThe sea food video. Lets just say I am glad I do not like sea food!!! However, if it is a problem with sea food that not many know about, how do we know its not the same case as other imported food?
The third video or article would not load for me but just the title alone makes me not want to eat it. Everyone in this class seems to be terrified of everything in the world, but the truth is we were all fine with this stuff before the class and I am sure we will all be fine after the class ends. Maybe its not so bad that we are washing our hands more, but lets not get to crazy, we can't live in a bubble!
Jerome,
ReplyDeleteFluoride isn't just randomly in water, it is put in there by the water treatment plants! It is harmless in small doses. It is there to prevent tooth decay. If you notice many other countries that don't fluorinate the water, have very poor teeth, so be thankful it's there!
I thought that the sneeze from glee was really funny. That poor guy definitely caught some droplets in the face and I am sure that the aerosols from that sneeze carried throughout the majority of the hallway. I was surprised to hear that 80% of the fish and shrimp that we eat is imported. I had no idea that the numbers would be so high, considering we live close to the pacific ocean, which one would assume is a solid source of fish and shrimp. It is no wonder that the imported fish has so much potential to carry toxins and bacteria. In microbiology, we learned bacteria grow much better on meats, fruits, and vegetables, which would hopefully give caution to the people who are preparing the fish to take extra care. If the FDA is only testing 2% of imported seafood, then they are not doing their job. Especially when they know that seafood that is imported from Vietnam has been mixed with antibiotics and pollution. There are a lot of little things that I don’t really pay attention to when eating at the mall that pose health risks. An example would be grabbing the kabob on the bottom that is closest to the heat, rather than the kabob that has been sitting on top farther away from the heat for who knows how long. I learned in microbiology that even things like this that may seem minute can still cause food poisoning.
ReplyDeleteI thought that the sneeze on "Glee" was a perfect example of an airborne transmission to a host! It was pretty disgusting and from what I learned in class, I think that the only to avoid getting sick is to maintain good hygiene.
ReplyDeleteAs for the seafood video: while the story was quite disturbing, I will still not deny that seafood is one of my favorites! I was raised eating seafood and I have not yet gotten sick from it (knock on wood!). This video has definitely made me more aware and cautious of the quality of the fish or other imported foods I eat. I do believe that the FDA should make regulation of these foods a primary concern since it does affect public health.
I found the last article to be the most disturbing because roaches and rodents are just disgusting. This article made me think about the restaurants I have worked at and helped me realize why my managers are so strict on us about cleanliness. I used to think it was annoying and that they were just too paranoid about the health inspectors, but now I understand why deep cleaning is necessary! Thank you Micro.
The videos wasn't very surprising to me just because we have been dealing with this problem a long time ago. Sometimes people are just being careless and thinks that it's going to be okay when actually it's not. Just like the kid who got sick from the salsa that got mixed with the uncooked meat or something that, they probably thought, "Oh it'll be okay", but it's not. People or employees in restaurants or employees who handles food, they should be well educated, atleast every year about the food bacteria that is out there that makes people sick when they don't handle the food properly. Probably, hopefully, that way they can realize that good hygeine and having good food out will not just make a person full and happy, but also healthy.
ReplyDelete*By the way, my top favorite seafood are shrimps and tilapia! Now I really need to pick the right place to buy and eat them because I really don't want to hate what I love. Also, I learned in Microbio about aseptic technique and safety, how keeping everything sterile will give you the results you want, not things that you really don't want to be there. Honestly, learning about the bacteria in class scares me so much more to walk barefoot outside or not washing my hands because I really don't want to get seriouslly sick, especially my son.
I realized how important it is for everyone who are sick to learn to use their sleeve or tissue to sneeze on instead on someone that can get the germ as well. After watching the first scene of Glee I will forever be traumatized and always using something to sneeze on. However, babysitting a girl and a boy can sometimes lead to getting sick more often; for instance, a few weeks ago as I was talking to the little girl she accidently coughed in my mouth and of course she had to be sick and forgot to close her mouth. I knew I was going to get sick and the following day my throat was sore and hurting a great deal. I am glad that I am a vegetarian because hearing all of these bad issues with meat, chicken, and now seafood would most definitely made me think twice about what I put in my stomach. I heard of farmers putting antibiotics and other substances in cattle, pigs, and chickens but never in seafood. I’m guessing that the FDA does not have the time to inspects Americans food restaurant efficiently since there are quite a few rodent and insect problems at selective malls. Having so many consumers at a large area can cause restuarant employees to feel pressured and stressed, yet there is no excuse for them to slack off and not keep an eye out for insects and rodents or even at least to wash their hands before cooking someones meal.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, I just have to say how disturbing it is to watch somebody get sneezed on. So Gross!
ReplyDeleteI find it even more gross now that I know how far mucous can fly out of somebody's mouth.
As for the food court, I had a feeling that food courts were not the most sanitary places to eat; but, I did not know the extent of how unsanitary it was. In 3 of the malls they were way over 50% of vendor violations that had to do with rodents, roaches, bacteria, and/or decay...thats insane!
Lastly, as for seafood, it was quite depressing to hear that seafood (my favorite thing to eat) can be very toxic to the point to cause medical disorders such as cancer. What is scary about that, nobody really knows what they really are ingesting these days. What is the FDA good for if they are only paying attention to this issue at less than 2%? Makes me wonder what else is being overlooked. Thanks for sharing these disturbing, yet interesting clips.
-Maria Serota
wow, i am staying away from mall food courts. It seems too easy to get around the FDA regulations. These restaurants will do whatever they can to prepare food more efficient and less costly, which leaves us at risk. I enjoy seafood, but who really knows where it is coming from. When packaged we may know that it has met FDA regulations and where it comes from, but in restaurants and fast food venues....it is basically a guessing game. I have gotten food poisoning a few times from places i assumed were safe to eat at because of the FDA grade they post on the window. I now know that these letters may be misleading. Very interesting and informative videos, i will definitely think twice before eating shrimp next time.
ReplyDeleteThe Glee episode was absolutely disgusting, but I did like how you could literally see every particle as it flew out of her mouth. When I sneeze I dont think of how much spit is actually exiting and flying all over the place, so they did a good job showing that.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the other videos go, all I can say is gross! The seafood safety video didn't shock me all that much, besides the fact that they mentioned that the FDA only inspects less than 2% of imported seafood, and we get 80 or more percent of our seafood from other countries. The FDA definitely needs to step it up, or people need to know this and push to know more information (in restaurants) about where there food comes from.
Now the mall food court video probably affected me the most. I eat at the mall all the time, and Ive never even thought about paying attention to the ways that the employees handle the food, or how clean they are or anything. And I had no idea that so many places take food handling so lightly. I guess like the video said, its because they are processing and making so much food so fast, in such a small place that they dont have the time for it. But all these people need to take food handling alot more seriously. I mean its your food, and tons of people eat this everyday, and could really get sick from one slight contamination. But Im definitely staying away from the mall from now on.
Stephanie G.
These videos were very interesting but a little alarming. After watching the seafood video im very thankful that seafood isn’t at the top of my list of favorite foods. I was very surprised to learn that 80 percent of our seafood is imported and that when we eat it we don’t even know where it came from. The video on the mall vendors was the most disturbing to me. The cockroach on the wall was disgusting and it was surprising to see how carless the workers were like putting raw meet next to salsa and not wearing gloves. These videos gave us a good look at how bacteria from people can be transferred to our food and how temperature can effect microbial growth. I don’t think im going to be eating at a food court anytime soon after watching these videos.
ReplyDeleteI loved the sneeze on glee. It reminded me of a video my bio 107 teacher showed us on the right way to sneeze: sneezing into your sleeve! It traps most of the microbs and prevents droplet and aerosol contamination. The videos on food safety were very gross! I absolutely love seafood and it was very scary to hear about, I am definitely going to start asking at the market and restaurants where they import their food from. The other video was just frustrating to watch. I work with food now and know all of the safety precautions that we have to take. Its not that hard and I can't believe all these places have so many violations. Too me its common sense not to cross contaminate meat and vegetables. I also realized how much this class really makes me think about the reasoning behind why we must be so cautious. These videos also make me very disappointed in the FDA. They are slacking on testing food a surprising amount! All in all I learned that what we have been learning really does relate to day to day experiences and that I will probably be eating at home for a while.
ReplyDeleteThese videos are interesting, I think we should not label and classify all fast food resturant as being unclean. I have worked in fast food restaurants for 3 years,we had inspection all the time both from corporate and few other organizations, so obviously we had to keep the restaurant in Excellent conditions! I dont know about these mall restaurants tho, cause after seen these videos, I am never eating at the mall anymore!!
ReplyDeleteAbout the imported fish and mall restaurants being unclean I blame only 1 organization, the FDA, Its their responsibility to protect the Public and they are failing at it, I think It can be due to several reasons, main one being they care more about profit and money then our safety!
Belnadin
I have no idea how I was able to watch the sneeze on Glee. I am sure I am never going to watch that again.
ReplyDeleteThe video about where sea food comes from wasn't too surprising to me. While there may be regulations in the US about how it is prepared I was already informed that there are no regulations about how the sea food gets here.
The video about the food court was more shocking simply because of how many violations that a place can get.
I honestly founf the Glee clip to be really funny. It was kind of cool how we were able to see all the flying particles come out of the mouth lol. Good clip to help reinforce what we have been learning in class.
ReplyDeleteAs for the seafood clip, i thought it was definetley an eye opener. I actually never thought about where our seafood gets imported from until now. I also was also really suprised about the dirty water in which they live in (so gross). I was really shocked to hear the seafood has toxins that may cause cancer. The FDA needs to really step it up because our health is at risk.
As for the food courts in the mall so gross. Its a good thing i dont eat at the food courts. I couldnt believe what i saw in the clip. Its understandable that this would happen because the food courts are on the good in terms of getting food ready at the drop of a dime that they often take shortcuts when preparing food.
By watching these clips it really shows how important hand washing is. It also helps to demonstrate that cross contamintaion does not just occur in the food courts but rather how it can happen in our own home if we leave meat out and chop up veggies with the same knife. Last but not least it helps to stress the fact that microbes are EVERYWHERE!What a good way to end the semester with these clips.
These videos were extremely eye opening. I think all Americans have the right to know what they are eating and where they are being imported from. The clips of the Boston mall shocked me the most because I eat at the mall all the time. Watching these images and knowing about all the bacteria everything has, including insects, roaming around the mall just makes me sick to my stomach. What I learned in microbiology, there are so many things naked to the eye that can make us sick. There was this one scene that left a burger by itself and bacteria could grow on that, it reminded me of spontaneous generation experiment, the one with the steak and a jar. These videos were amazing because it makes me feel like i know everything they are talking about because of my microbiology class!
ReplyDeleteThe seafood clip was very informative, i never really thought about our imported foods being "contaminated". I always thought that since it was from outside the U.S... the FDA would automatically make inspections on it. I guess i was wrong and the FDA only check less than 2% of imported seafood. I used to LOVE eating sushi and seafood, but after that video we watched in lab at the beginning of the semester, Love Sushi hasn't seen much of me lately. The food court safety video wasn't a shock to me. I have been working at a restaurant for about 4 years now and all employees are always being watched on their performance on good hygiene techniques while working. We always have to make sure that we handle the food correctly and properly, for example, making sure we wear gloves while checking the food, making sure the utensils are all clean before taking out the order, making sure we don't sneeze or cough in the food, and most importantly is WASHING YOUR HANDS CONSTANTLY! The restaurant I work at is very strict about food handling and everything being clean. However, not all restaurants are as serious about this as we are and people dining out never know how servers/waitresses handle their food. What i learned in microbiology is that anything and everything has microbes all over it! We need to always be cautious about everything around us and what we handle and touch. Microbiology has given me so much knowledge about the real world, whats around me and how to prevent getting contaminated.
ReplyDeleteAll I have to say about that sneeze is...GROSS! It definitely makes you think about all that bacteria that gets on you when someone close to you sneezes. With anyone sneezing that close to you though, you are bound to get sick. I would be surprised if you didn’t. I instantly thought about the Transmission stage in the Cycle of Disease. This man got aerosols all over his face. The bacteria could have entered through his mouth, eyes, skin, and nose (portals of entry). Throughout this semester I have learned so much about microbes and how they are absolutely everywhere. We just forget about them sometimes because we can’t see them.
ReplyDeleteI did not know that eighty percent of the fish and shrimp we eat is imported. I also didn’t know all those toxins were given to them so that they could survive. It’s scary that we don’t know when our seafood has all these toxins since we can’t smell it or taste it. I believe that every person has the right to know where their food comes from and what it contains. This reminded me of our lecture today and how we were talking about animals and the antibiotics that are given to them. Just like the antibiotics are given for the good of the animal, the toxins are being given to the fish so that they can survive, even though both could be bad in the long run. Seeing this video clip will make me think twice before eating sushi even though I still love it!
The food court video clip made me realize how we really don’t know what goes on while they are cooking their food. The cockroach on the wall by the grill was really nasty. Especially since they can serve as vectors and cross contaminate. The fact that they found mouse droppings behind refrigerators was a little disturbing as well. I think restaurants have a big responsibility when it comes to being clean and safe about their food. There is an immense amount of harmful bacteria and it so easy for them to get transmitted. These video clips make you think twice about eating out, but I think that it doesn’t do us any good thinking about this 24/7. However, we should be educated.

as gross as that sneeze is, it really tells us that not only it is discusting but it's a great way for bacteria to travel from one host to another. This is one of the easiest way to tranfer a microbe form person to person. as far as the food is concerned, the importance of good sanitation is crutial for serving healthy food. from where the food comes from to where it is stored and preped, even delivery to the customer. it is all important because we have learned that certain microbes grow in their optimal conditions. if not taken care of it, it could lead to a serious infection, or a little vomiting.
ReplyDeletei love sushi, but everytime i eat it in the back of my mind is a bit of worry. oh what the heck it delicious.
this class has open my knowledge of microbes and importance of protecton against them. expecially since i'm in the healthcare field and work around MRSA and VRE and i could go on for ever
Yuck!!! As someone who has worked in restaurants for years, I understand that vermin, bugs and unsanitary workers and work habits are often a problem. It really comes down to training, as well as management being stringent about health policy. I imagine if people were educated about microbes and transmission, our food service industry would be much safer.
ReplyDeleteThe sneeze in Glee was an amazing example of aerosol transmission. Just another reminder of why we should sneeze in our upper arm. They teach this technique in my son’s elementary school. Yeah, the future may be a little wiser.
I may never eat at a food court again, those statistics are shocking. Again, if food service employees were educated about microbes maybe some impropriety could be prevented. It is so important to remember that temperature effects the growth of microbes.
The story about the seafood and antibiotic resistance was interesting. We really need to be more protective of our environment, food source and ourselves. If we are eating fish of meat laden with antibiotics, unfortunately when we need antibiotics for infection they may not work.
First off, I love the show "Glee." When I was watching that episode the night it aired and saw that segment of that one student sneezing onto the principle, I chuckled a bit, thinking about microbiology. In general, I was disgusted, but it was interesting to see a method of transferring microbes from one host to another.
ReplyDeleteBoth the seafood video and the video on mall food courts were very disturbing but enlightening. I can't believe that about 80% of the seafood that we get from our markets and restaurants are imported from Asian countries that get their fish from toxic waters, and are fed with antibiotics. And I think it's ridiculous how the FDA only regulates about %2 percent of the imported seafood. The video has shown us that eating imported seafood can cause long term effects such as birth defects and other health problems, but then, why isn't the FDA doing anything to protect the public? Are we really just suppose to end up being ignorant about where our food is coming from and how it's being treated?
As for the food courts, I have encountered this video about a week ago on my friend's Facebook. After watching that video, I don't think I can ever eat at the mall--same goes with seafood. This video has clearly informed us of how influx of temperature can affect the growth of bacteria in our food and how contamination from rats (e. coli) can be transmitted through our food and into our body. And due to lack of food court inspections, this video has shown us that owners of food booths don't pay much attention to their surroundings, are ill-informed of the contamination process, and don't strictly enforce health safety.
Overall, these videos have thought us to be careful of our surrounding and what we eat, and have taught us to be more careful and aware of how we handle, and how others handle food. I really enjoyed these videos.
I am a recent watcher of Glee and wow! Kim was right when she said it was a prime example of aeresol transmission. I still remember the example Prof. Burke used in class about the woman sneezing on some cans and how you rightfully chose to avoid picking them up. I really do not think people realize the velocity those air droplets can have and honestly, nor did I. The seafood video makes me think twice about eating sushi or eating fish ever again! To think that the FDA checks that low of a percentage of imports and we import 80% of our seafood is insane!!! How is this allowed to even go on...And being a person who has worked in the food industry, one can not stress the importance of safe food handling. I believe that it is the company as well as management's responsbility to instill good health habits with the employees which promote safe food handling. I think people have that mentality that these safe measures do not really matter, yet they are essential for preserving our health.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely disgusting!
ReplyDeleteIt is funny how us students would ignore these kinds of things up until we had the opportunity to take this micro class. I find myself paying close attention to everything--I am turning into a freak!
Concerning the videos, I appreciated them because not only do they inform us about what is going on with our seafood or what is going on in our local food courts, but they also inform us on how to prevent getting infected by the many bacteria floating around those places. These videos have taught us that we need to be careful and aware about our surroundings, especially when it comes to food.

Same Story anywhere you go. We don't live in a bubble and can't protect yourself from everything. When you're cooking at home, think about the different violations that they were talking about. Ants, dust. Cutting vegetables on the same table you just cooked meat. Its not like we're not exposed to this every day of every week. I think its just overblown hype. Its disgusting sure. People get sick. People get sick from being in the same room. I work in a hospital. The majority of people there are sick. The moral is be aware but don't be crazy. We all get sick and die. Thats life.
