    The wife and I like what is basically steak sushi. We don’t eat steak all the time, but when we do, it’s minimum sear. Cold center.

    We are aware that we run an elevated risk for e. Coli.

    We’re handling chicken with gloves until we get a better handle on it.

    I really hope the bad old days don’t come back, it’s a real pain in the ass.

      Honestly, i wouldnt sweat it. Ecoli in that context is much more of a risk. And wiith safe food handling, your risk is pretty low.
