improper food handling, cooking, or storage allows harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites to grow, leading to food borne illnesses (food poisoning ) with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, fever, or headache, and in severe cases, can cause dehydration, kidney failure, paralysis, or even death, especially in vulnerable groups ( kids, elder , immunocompromised ). Even food looks, smells , or taste fine, dangerous germs can still cause illness with symptoms appearing from 20 minutes to weeks later.

You need to make sure your area is clean, you have your utensils you need. You need separate knives and cutting boards for meat and vegetables. You don’t use the same knife when cutting meat and vegetables as it can spread contamination and spread germs. Once you are done, you clean your area and do your dishes.

When food is not handled, cooked or stored properly allows harmful bacteria, viruses, or parasites to grow, leading to foodborne illness (food poisoning) with symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, fever, and headaches, with severe cases causing dehydration, kidney failure, paralysis, or even death, especially for vulnerable groups like young children, seniors, and those with weakened immune systems. Even food that looks, smells, or tastes fine can be dangerous, as germs don't always change its appearance.
