"The cycle starts with a human that's infected with the tapeworm," said Dr. Luis Ostrosky, of the UT Houston Medical Center.

The tapeworm eggs are spread by a human host who doesn't practice good hygiene after using the restroom. An unsuspecting victim then eats the contaminated food, Ostrosky said.

Well, Yuch!!!!

I think all food service places whether mobile or not should have a sanitary hand washing sink well in view of the customers. If you see someone going towards your food without washing their hands. Go out the door. You never know if someone washes their hands after using the restroom so I for one want to see them lather up.

And yet you'd be surprised at the number of guys - well-educated professionals - at my workplace who come out of the stall and head right out without washing their hands. Once I saw one of the cafeteria workers do it. After seeing stuff like this, I only exit men's rooms by covering my hand with a paper towel to open the door.
