think of it this way since you are "still skeptical"...........
someone who hasn't washed his (or her) hands.............
someone who hadn't washed the cutting board, before slicing the fruit........
now, take these (at least) two instances, where they are now handling the fruit....
the fruit juice gets onto the fingers....
the fruit is placed onto the rim of the glass,, or in some cases, dropped into the glass...........
the fruit juice that is still on the finger tips of that person, now picks up another slice of the fruit, fingers wet mind you, gripping the rind of the fruit, where the bacteria is present.......
putting that next slice of tainted fruit onto the rim of yet another glass..........
although different, same "passing on of bactieria to someone".....THIS.....
you go to a bar, there is a bowl of peanuts on the bar. you scop up some and eat them.....normal.....right....??
NOW, someone, ANYONE, goes to the bathroom. does his or her "business".........doesn't wash hands.....
scoops up some of those peanuts from the same bowl you are.....
do you think you're NOT getting bactieria then....?????
proper food preperation applies at home AS WELL AS when you're at any eatery.....
