I had food poisoning a few years after attending a wedding. I believe it was salmonella & it hit me the day after the reception at a restaurant up north. Believe you me it's no picnic & it was at least ten days before I fully recovered. That's why we don't eat out often & I'm a stickler when it comes to food safety.

Yea I know it is not pleasant. I wonder why all of a sudden there is so much occuring in the food industry concerning food poisoning from one agent or another. In terms of E.Coli that comes from direct contact of food with feces animal or human and washing hands real well ends the transfer.
