Sounds like a dose of Tyson.

Chances are tiny of a food-borne illness like this affecting anyone. Sorry she won that lottery.

Cook all chicken to 165F measured and indicated.

Assure you take good probiotics such as Reuteri, which kills salmonella you’ve ingested before it causes a problem.

Diabetics also get gastroparesis.

I have a friend who likes his chicken rare, he wants to see pink on the inside when he cuts it. His idea of a perfect steak is grey on the outside and still chilled in the middle.

I’m just waiting to say “told ya so...”

I find it very hard to believe that eating a meal 14 years ago caused a problem three days later, which then caused a disease 6 years later. This sounds more like a really, really bad reporter talking to a lawsuit that is waiting to happen.

probiotics are a joke since most of them are killed in the stomach by stomach acid. But marketing makes more sense to people than cold hard scientific facts.

I’m leery of these kinds of stories, those peta asshats are good at it. Sorry folks but it was onions last year making people sick.JRandomFreeper is right she just hit the lottery!

Food Irradiation (If the Greenies would allow it) would solve this once and for all......

[MAD-AS-HELL]

The problem with this article that it’s linking something to her problem that isn’t clear that that was the case in the first place. And the article is compelte fear mongering. She’s only one of MILLIONS that this has happened to. It’s not wrong to claim that eating undercooked chicken is dangerous but using one extremely RARE case to scare is journalistic malpractice. But this is what the media is good at. Scaring people and helping getting democrats elected.

I eat nuthin' but Chicken Sushi.

I call it Cushi.

"...probiotics are a joke since most of them are killed in the stomach by stomach acid."

Not true. The most widely used probiotic is called "Lactobacillus Acidophilus". That second word translates to "acid loving". Not bothered at all by stomach acid.

[JRandomFreeper]

This one actually sounds like cross-contamination in the kitchen. I've yelled (and thrown stuff) at more than one cook/airman for it.

But you are correct, irradiated foods are much more safe.

Center for Science in the Public Interest

'Nuff said.

[lastchance]

Sorry any time I see “science in(?) the public interest” cited as a source for information I immediately know to expect bad science and a political agenda.

[JRandomFreeper]

Wrong, at so many levels, Laz.

BTW, good to see you are out of purgatory.

Pork Tartare is better than chicken sushi. Especially at room temperature in the Summer.

I've been eating raw hamburger meat (sirloin preferred) since I was a child. When the wife buys a couple of pounds of hamburger I usually scoop about 1/2 lb, load it with salt and a raw onion and dream I'm in heaven.

[LeonardFMason]

Irradiation is the answer.
