What is it about e-coli, other than quantity?

E-coli can be found in each and every human’s intestines all the time. The body knows how to deal with it... at least in small quantities.

Your body knows how to deal with YOUR e-coli, not the e-coli of the migrant that pooped in the picking field.
Also, before it gets to the intestines, it has a change to ravage the stomach...

Our kiddo got a severe case of E-coli from Dairy Queen steak fingers. Nothing against the steak fingers but the unwashed fingers that boxed it up. Had years of medical expenses from that. Not a laughing matter.
