dont do it i said

DONT DO IT I SAID

usatoday

she just looked at me
smiled
and
took a bite out of it

i said dont do it

she said
why

i said
two words why

salmonella
e coli

now if you have read about food lately those are two words that most of us know
if you are one of the unlucky ones that got infected from eating contaminated foods
well
you would said the same thing i said
dont do it
its bad real bad if you get it

so my wife she was making cookies
there are two ingredients that are put in cookies that if you eat it as raw uncooked cookie dough
you can get one or both of these infections

eggs
known to sometimes get contaminated with salmonella
anything you eat from a chicken should be cooked well done cooked

flour
it can be contaminated with e coli
a germ we all have but some versions can make you have the gis real bad
if you are young or immunocompromised it can kill you
as can the salmonella

in my medical career ive seen babies with salmonella meningitis salmonella pneumonia salmonella joint infections salmonella gastroenteritis
ive see babies die from it

i know
ive eaten cookie dough myself
before i knew better
not ever again

i dont like what happens if you eat it and get infected
it can definitely ruin a day and sometimes a whole week
or should i say runs

so
all i can say to my wife she as she makes her delicious monster cookies
is
dont eat the dough
dont do it

cook it first
then
ill take care of them for you
