She doesn't eat foods that are served cold. Cooking tends to kill
those microorganisms.

Oh, and she doesn't eat salads if I remember correctly. Maybe no
fruits, like strawberries either.

True, Cindy, I don't care for raw vegetables or cold food. I cook that
I eat and I definitely eat far more than what I had as a child. Of
course it is a typical Bruce reply.

Pepperoni straight out of the package. I was about 8 years old, and I
still don't care for pepperoni, unless it is baked into bread or crispy
on a pizza pie.

Mom can't eat anything with cherry flavoring, due to cherry flavored
cold medicine as a child.

I hear that most cases are miss-associated with what caused it, but I
can say with a straight face that I've never managed to get sick from
home cooking.

I had it once, and it was awful. Both myself and an ex had it, and it
was awful for a couple of days. The room was spinning much of the time.
We narrowed it down to the hot wings we at from a local pizza joint.
Everyone else in the house had the pizza, but only us had the wings. A
friend of mine told me they once got sick from their wings. It's no
shock that they went out of business.

I'm still that way with bourbon and for the same reason.

Have you ever had "stomach flu"? That is usually a form of food poisoning.

"No, stomach flu (gastroenteritis) and food poisoning are actually
caused by different things, although they can share some similar
symptoms."

He put "stomach flu" in quote marks to indicate that food poisoning
is often ascribed incorrectly to influenza.
