Stay Safe 2
Don’t eat.
Fun fact, from a food inspector I used to work with: Most of the illnesses that persons attribute to “intestinal flu” are actually food poisoning. If it lasts 24 to 48 hours, it’s probably food poisoning.
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

I don’t know where I saw it, but I did. Lose the idea of nationwide broadband internet access & hire more inspectors. Would be much more useful.
Chris & Joe have both had food poisening. Chris got over it. Joe had to go to the doctor & was given a prescription for something that had to go somewhere I wouldn’t put it. He couldn’t take it orally because he couldn’t hold anything down.
They both got it by eating of the “roach coaches” that frequent construction sites. Not ALL of them are bad, but you won’t find them eating off one again.

There is no such thing as “intestinal flu.” There is no 24 hour flu or 48 hour flu. It is almost always a food related illness and most likely traced back to either improper handling in the kitchen (either home or restaurant) or improper cooking. Improper cooking includes not cooking a product especially poultry – to the proper internal temperature. Improper handling includes leaving things out on the counter to defrost, not keeping hot foods hot and cold foods cold, and cross contamination from failure to wash hands, cutting surfaces, and utensils.
The recent peanut processing problems aside, such problems occur far more often from home cooking than from processed and purchased prepared food.
