Do not work if you are vomiting. If the sore is not infected, wear a rubber or plastic glove. If someone at home is sick, be sure to wash your hands carefully before you start work. Washing your hands at home will also help prevent the spread of illness there. People can get sick when the food they eat has germs.
Germs cause food borne illness or food poisoning.
Germs grow easily in foods like meat, fish, poultry, milk, refried beans, cooked rice, and baked potatoes. These are called potentially hazardous foods . These are all foods that are moist or damp, and they have protein that the germs need to grow. Germs also grow well in other foods kept warm in the Danger Zone . Part of your job is to protect the food and to stop germs from growing, so that no one will get sick.
