YES , if you get a foodborne illness caused by the careless handling of food. Improper food handling allows illness-causing bacteria or toxins to get into food and multiply, causing a foodborne illness. People often blame foodborne illnesses on food that was eaten at a restaurant, deli, church or school. They don't think about the food they prepared and ate six to forty-eight or more hours ago.
Many foodborne illnesses are the result of the person's own poor food handling practices.
Wash hands frequently, especially after handling raw meats, sneezing, coughing, smoking, and using the toilet. Use soap and water, and dry hands with clean paper towels. Keep fingernails clean and trimmed. Cover coughs and sneezes with a disposable tissue. Wash hands after disposing of the tissue.
