It turns out that the average person is more likely to be sickened by E. coli as a result of poor hand washing practices than eating contaminated meat. Spreading E.

There are multiple strains, some of which are actually good for us. We tend to only hear about the bad strains because these are the ones that make the news. One of the big problems with E. coli is that the bad strains can make a person awfully sick. The bacteria also spreads quite easily from one person [&hellip;]"}
