I think you're conflating a fringe libertarian stereotype with reality. No reasonable person wants to chance food poisoning every time they eat, which is why we have meat thermometers.
Libertarians that I've read and met, in general, want to remove government policies that force entanglement or reliance on the government. A good example is DUIs; reasonably, we know that driving while impaired is dangerous, but what we don't want is for someone to make the mistake of doing that being beholden to the governments whims for their entire lives, which is currently how it works.
