How to Avoid the Collywobbles... -- Be suspicious of unpasteurized and raw foods -- Go to busy delis where food is likely to turn over more -- Avoid deli items like tuna salad if at room temperature -- Cook hamburger until the center is brown and juices run clear -- Defrost food in the refrigerator, not on the counter -- Reheat leftovers until they bubble, sizzle, or steam -- Buy perishables last and put them away first -- Don't baste meat with its marinade -- Don't taste food until it's thoroughly cooked -- Scrub hands with soap and hot water when handling raw food -- Wash produce even if it has a throwaway peel
