Don't Wash Chicken

[infinite monkey]

All I know is you ain't supposed to wash your chickens before they're hatched.

Seriously, I can't imagine not rinsing chicken. If nothing else, it seems less slimy to me, pre-cooked. But the article states that the Campylobacter bacteria can not only "cause severe illness and death, but it costs the economy hundreds of millions of pounds a year as a result of sickness absence and the burden on the NHS."

I think the death part precludes any concerns about irritable bowel syndrome or sickness absence. Then again, it's like adding insult to injury, isn't it, being dead AND having a tummyache.
