DESCRIPTION: Handling chicken can lead to the colonization of one's colon with antibiotic resistant E. coli that may result in bladder infections in women.

I originally explored this topic in Chicken Out of UTIs (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/chicken-out-of-utis/), but decided I needed to take a much deeper dive, especially in light of the cross-contamination issue, which I also previously touched on in Food Poisoning Bacteria Cross-Contamination (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-poisoning-bacteria-cross-contamination/) and Fecal Contamination of Sushi (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fecal-contamination-of-sushi/).
