Yeah, re food safety, I was on youtube about a week ago and learned salmonella and e.coli deaths are not common in ground beef. For example, in 2019, the total number of people who died due to ingesting undercooked (cooked below 165 F) ground beef nationwide was ***drumroll*** one. This info was confirmed via a link to a CDC report found in the description. Kind of fascinating - given the number of times I've read that undercooked ground beef may kill me. Apparently walking into a grocery store to buy ground beef without a mask has a better chance of killing me than under cooking said ground beef. :-)

After the Jack-in-the-Box food poisoning incident, which I witnessed first-hand, food safety took one giant leap forward in at least beef/e-coli....
DON'T LULL YOURSELF INTO A DEADLY DECISION...
Different bacteria die at different rates and temperatures... Some can go into a type of suspended animation if the temperature rise is too slow, only to rebound at a later time to do you in... Wet temperature kills bacteria faster than dry heat... Dehydrating jerky is a prime example of how bacteria survive temperatures that are supposed to kill it... only to revive in your warm moist gut...
As the chart shows, at 127F, e-coli starts to die off.,.. the higher the temp, the faster they die off.....

You're referring to the 1993 incident that affected 73 restaurants across four states and killed four people... ?
