Well, I think we should be more worried that nobody washes their hands, ever.

Even if people do wash their hands, they don't do it properly for food preparation. They use cold water and an old bar of soap that everyone uses, which can be filled with nasty germs so this does more harm than good. And if they use the proper soap, rarely are they ever taught how to properly clean and dry their hands. All sorts of nasty food born pathogens can be passed on to customers. Deadly indeed!

Wrong, this stuff can and likely will kill you:

Alphabetical listing of all foodborne diseases, pathogens and toxins

Amebiasis


Ascaris, Roundworms


Botulism


Brainerd Diarrhea


Calicivirus (Norwalk-like viruses)


Campylobacter


Cholera


Cryptosporidiosis


Cyclospora infection


Cysticercosis


E.coli O157:H7


Giardiasis


Hepatitis A


Listeriosis


Norwalk-like virus


Salmonella Enteritidis


Salmonellosis


Shigellosis


Toxoplasmosis


Trichinosis


Typhoid Fever


Vibrio vulnificus


Viral gastritis

There's not even a small chance that you will be "stronger" as a result of being infected with these diseases. I'd be much more worried about getting those diseases than the hydrochloric acid used to clean the grills. Laughing

This is a real feel-good thread. Ignorance sometimes really can be bliss (and save the comment about how happy I must be, okay?).

I linked to Carlin because his point was that we shouldn't obsess over stuff like this and just live. Yes, standards are nice and I'd rather clean food than dirty food, but I don't want to turn into the neurotic person who obsesses about it and neither should you.

Obessed no. Concerned yes.
