 The cold winter months are the time of year when we are most likely to stay in, and maybe binge watch TV. However, before you reach for that bowl of popcorn or grab a handful of chips, stop and ask yourself a very important question: Have my hands been properly washed recently? This is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to prevent the spread of many types of infection and illness, including foodborne illness. During these days of seemingly endless coughing and sniffling, we tend to touch our eyes, ears, and noses without even realizing it. In doing so, we can inadvertently be contaminating our food with a plethora of sickness-inducing germs.
