Foodborne Illness

November 24, 2014

(http://noisepicnic.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/regretlabs02_500-300x300.jpg)Just in time for Thanksgiving, otherwise known as Undercooked Turkey Day, Regret Labs and food scientist Lainey Black take you through the wonderful world of foodborne illness and food poisoning. Learn all about why you shouldn't eat sprouts, what kind of diarrhea E. coli 157 will give you, why everyone in on a cruise ship is getting the norovirus, how to summon the elder god of shiga toxin, and why none of the antics in Dumb and Dumber are considered food poisoning.

Really, thought. Don't eat sprouts. Listen to this Regret Labs podcast episode if you like. But even if you don't, quit eating sprouts. And raw hamburgers.

If you do listen, you get to hear the five different kinds of diarrhea foodborne illness can give you. If nothing else, this episode of Regret Labs will give you a severe case of the giggles.
