Hi Marilyn, Thanks for the great tips. I follow the food-handling tips you mention, but when I eat out in a restaurant, I am fearful of getting some type of food poisoning. I have had it several times over the years. It is definitely not pleasant. One bout lasted 4-5 days, with both diarrhea and vomiting. I believe I became ill after eating stir-fry chicken in a restaurant. Other times, I have not been totally sure of which food caused the problem. DonnaZ
