Thanksgiving is dangerous. Well, it can be. According to a new survey, 22% of people say they’ve gotten FOOD POISONING from a holiday meal. YIKES! If you’re cooking the meal .. here are some ways to avoid poisoning your guests :
DON’T RINSE THE TURKEY IN THE SINK OR IF YOU DO, DISINFECT AFTER
1. 62% of Americans rinse raw turkey in the kitchen sink, which can splatter germs up to three feet away . . . all over the counters and other cooking surfaces.
WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER FOOD PREP
2. 26% of people only wash their hands BEFORE they make food . . . which can lead to cross-contamination when they’re cooking different things.
PUT AWAY THE TURKEY ASAP
3. And 26% of people leave the turkey out for three or more hours before they put it in the fridge for leftovers . . . bacteria can start growing at the two-hour mark.
Anyway, good luck not getting sick on Thursday.
I also just saw today that .. 15% of people get injured carving the turkey. Again … careful out there. Especially if you don’t want a trip to the Urgent Care on Turkey Day.
Have a great one!!
