Experts say although Staph can be killed with proper cooking, it still may pose a risk to people who handle food improperly, and cross-contamination in the kitchen.

Duh. If people would pay attention, there would be no risk to any of this. Sometimes when I go to dinner parties I am shocked at the recklessness of some cooks habits. When people are too stupid to properly and safely feed themselves, the society is finished.

Yes, my list of pet peeves are long. I particularly admire handling raw chicken, putting on the platter to grill, then using the same platter for the cooked meat. Oh, and using the same tongs that flipped the raw chicken to serve. Never disinfecting the faucet handles when washing your contaminated hands. Not bleaching cutting boards, refrigerator door handles, bathroom door handles, flush handles. It’s endless.

Back in my line-cooking days, chicken was treated like hazardous material—seperate cutting boards, utensils, cleaning all that stuff with bleach. I still treat chicken (and eggs) very carefully, wash my hands constantly, try not to touch anything with chicken-fouled (har har) hands.

The bacteria can be killed by cooking but the toxins are heat resistant.
