PSA: cook your food, several people sick in canada

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Have you taken any first aid courses?

What did the instructor teach you about blood? That all blood should be treated as if it were contaminated?

But for some reason, uncooked steaks from a cow have zero chance of being contaminated?

The last time I looked, fruits and veggies do not have blood.

And, we're back to the obsession with blood. :whiste:

Naw, his grasp on reality is just fleeting.

Really nice hog But your fear is unfounded.

Wear gloves next time. If the animal is dressers and cleaned properly there is no concern of coli.

Now raw blood from the animal when killed is a concern to any of your body's best defense if it's broken.

Your skin.

Really nice hog

Hog? That is a deer

Wear gloves next time.

If meat is sterile, why wear gloves?

your fear is unfounded.

My fear is unfounded, but you say to wear gloves?

 

[spidey07]

Cross contamination.

Here is the problem with Texashiker. He doesn't recognize that everything in life is about risk management.

Going to get in your car is about risk tradeoffs. Is going to work worth the inherent risk of having a fatal car wreck. Of course it is.

Is the risk of death from an accident from a riding a motorcycle worth the risk? For me no.

Is the insanely small risk associated with eating a medium-rare steak worth the risk? Yes, because the odds of actually getting sick is so small that it isn't worth worrying about. Personally, I have never gotten sick from a steak but I have gotten sick a few times from cold cuts from delis. Do I still eat at Delis? Yep because even then the risk is pretty small.

I heard crystal-meth is pretty cool.

Does not mean I want to try it.

Posting in a troll ignorant TH thread.

Based on the information provided to you by others, you continue to play the troll.

Odds are higher that you'll get in a car accident than get e.coli from a rare/medium rare steak.

Jesus, get educated and stop pushing your ignorance here.

 

[PhoenixEnigma]

On a slightly different note, the timing on this couldn't be more ironic. Avoid raw Canadian meat, indeed.

 

[yllus]

Every Texashiker thread is the same Texashiker thread.

Pretty much.

Fixed.
Your first aid course is making the assumption that you're giving first aid to humans. The vast majority of pathogens in blood are pretty species specific. E.g., if it were the other way around, a cow absolutely does NOT have to worry about getting AIDS due to contact with human blood. The animals that we eat are not carriers of the diseases we worry about being transmitted via blood. (HIV, Hep A, B, C, D, or E) (Oh, and of course, if you find a pool of blood of unknown origin, assume it's human to be on the safe side.)

 

[hal2kilo]

Then you're not cleaning or dressing your kill properly.

I always cook pork medium. Burgers the same.

Yea, who says you can't have a little pink in pork?

You are under the assumption there are no bloodborne infections that humans and cattle can share.

You ever butcher one of your goats? Did you cook the meat well or did you eat it rare?

There is no real debate here, cooking your food all the way through kills any pathogens in the meat. That is a scientific proven fact.

Eating rare or raw meat poses a risk (even though slight risk) to human health.

If someone chooses to eat their meat rare, that is their choice.

I choose to cook my meat all the way through.

Don't forget BSE, mad cow disease, your well done burger may not save you. Better off giving beef up all together.

Things are looking up, we're into day two of the OP's "blood psychosis." One more day and we can have him legally committed.

 

[Throckmorton]

Wait... can anyone explain why "healthy" cows don't have bacteria and parasites in their blood and tissue like poultry and pigs do?

Isn't bse (bovine spongiform) why feed regulations were changed?

I'll just blame you for my "blood psychosis."

 

[CycloWizard]

I eat my pork medium to medium rare. Trichonosis used to be the reason to cook it thoroughly but it was eradicated in the US decades ago.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Yes but, that's only a control measure not an elimination of the disease. Nope, you better give up beef. You can't be too safe you know.

 

[Genx87]

In dedication to this thread I will be preparing a nearly 2 inch thick 2.3 pound ribeye tonight for the family. It will be magnificent and done rare to medium rare!

 

[Texashiker]

Trichonosis used to be the reason to cook it thoroughly but it was eradicated in the US decades ago.

Negative, Trichonosis is still around.

http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/trichinellosis/gen_info/faqs.html

However, infection is now relatively rare. During 2008&#8211;2010, 20 cases were reported per year on average.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Negative, I did a Trichonosis disease investigation a couple of years ago.

So, we agree the safest course is for you to give up beef, chicken, pork, fruit and veggies, right?

 

[Broheim]

People dont know that cooking their meat kills bacteria?

http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/...r-eating-contaminated-steaks/?test=latestnews



I dont know how many times I have seen people order steaks or burgers with blood oozing out of the meat.

that's how you eat a fucking steak...

 

[Texashiker]

Nope, that is why we have an immune system.

Where would we be today if our ancestors gave up 1/2 cooked meat? Could you imagine the cook time for a slab of mastodon?
