IF you feel that a date with diarrhoea is imminent, then your kitchen could
easily be the source of the problem. The Food Safety Information Service may be
able to help. Its site at http://www.usda.gov/agency/fsis/pubconsu.htm holds
information about most types of meat and how to prepare it to reduce the risk of
contamination.

If this is not enough, you could always download the software available from
http://www.arserrc.gov/. It predicts the chance you have of falling victim to a
bad bug.
