Someone spitting on pizza is just a psychological issue as pizza is baked on very high temperature for long enough, so it will be effectively sterilized... same with the meat dropped on the floor, as long as it's prepared right after that so that bacteria couldn't multiply and penetrate deeper.
- b_tterc_p 7y agoIt’s more than possible for non-living but still harmful substances/chemicals to be on the floor.
- ivanhoe 7y agoin substantial amounts and then not vaporize while cooking? I guess it's possible, but honestly I'd worry much more about the hygiene of meat processing plants and what happens to meat during the storage and transport
- whenchamenia 7y agoIt is often the toxins from bacteria, rather than the bacteria itself that makes you sick. Don't play when it comes to meat.
- ivanhoe 7y agoWe're discussing very specific scenario where there's no time for bacteria to produce a significant amount of toxins in those few minutes from falling on the floor to being prepared, and also the majority (although not all) of deadly meat bacteria toxins like botox are inactivated by cooking. Anyway, it's not that I like eating food from a floor or having someone spit in my dishes, I just argue that strictly sanitary these are not as big deal as they're psychologically.
