E. coli is not invincible. It’s a tiny, hairy, heat-fearing coward. You’ve got heat, soap, bleach, and a fridge. You’ve got a stomach of fire and the power of probiotics. You are the boss of your kitchen and the captain of your colon.
So go forth. Cook that burger. Wash those hands. And maybe stop licking doorknobs. Your gut—and your dignity—will thank you.
