    Berry Berry? Hmmm, might be a pair of Blackberrys I suppose. However, Beriberi is a pretty serious condition:

    Hey? You can be as nasty as you like, I'm a very clean person, sorry if after watching a guy who just wiped his arsh and didn't wash his hands and uses that same hand to open a door, if you would like to touch it? Go right ahead, as for me? I'll keep washing my hands and using my foot to push open a door, more people get sick from germs that are spread around by unclean hands, thus the reason I quit shaking hands

    I was in subway the other day. St. Paul, IN and the guy behind me asked the girl to change her gloves and put new ones on. I did a bit of cooking in college, required by company to wear gloves, same as when I worked in a deli at a grocery store. Ive been fishing before, touched fish, bait, etc, and then ate a sandwhich without sanitizer. Fish have a keen sense of smell and can smell that sanitizer. Drank from the hose, ate doggie biscuit on a dare, night crawlers, onions out of the grown, green beans off the vine just washed under water. Im still here.

    It's a flavor of milkshake.

    Beriberi, on the other hand is a vitamin deficiency, not unlike scurvy.

    Studies show that children who grow up on farms and exposed to more bacteria on a regular basis grow into healthier adults than those that grow up shielded from bacteria.

    These days with the paranoia about every germ that we come across, the overuse of hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes, we are raising a generation of kids who never get to build up that immunity.

    By the time they are adults they are going to be weak, sickly, pale images of people.
     
    Big Don and G/MAN Thank this.

    Wow none of you ever had food poisoning.

    I don't care if she was like a young Bridget Bardot, she ain't got gloves on, she ain't making me my food.

    I had two types, one was shigellosis and the other was salmonella.

    The first one was the worst of the two for me, was in the hospital for a couple days but it is odd how I got it, it was from a subway in NYC. The latter one was from a local Mexican place where we had a family gathering - needless to say five of us were laid up for two weeks. I've got another form of food poisoning when I went overseas but that didn't appear until I got back in the country and I think that was staphylococcus (sp?) which was really bad for me because I was travelling back home by riding with someone.

    By the way, I have a relative who owns a subway in Ohio and his policy is that if the workers don't have gloves on when they make subs or handle food, they get fired and he has fired a few of them - no second chances at all.

    I've had two cases of food poisoning. One was in the 60's from an Arby's in Denver. I won't eat at an Arby's to this day. The other time my wife and I were on vacation. We ate at a steak house in Sterling, both had everything the same except for salad dressing. I had a Roquefort and she didn't. I was so sick that we just stayed in the motel there for three days! Really screwed up our vacation. Haven't been able to even LOOK at Roquefort since then.

    I've had food poisoning twice. Like they say. You KNOW when you've got it.
