So now that you’re a bit freaked out, let’s scare you even more. Together, Salmonella and Campylobacter cause around 2 million foodborne illnesses in the US annually! It shows up around 2 days after consumption, so get ready for that Debbie downer of a surprise. Though Campylobacterosis is less deadly than Salmonellosis, it causes its fair share of illness. Campylobacter (usually species jejuni or coli) causes Campylobacterosis which also shows itself in the form of tummy troubles. Now let’s talk about Campylobacter (affectionately called Campy). And guess what? Salmonellosis is the leading cause of foodborne disease-related death in the US! Pretty bad. It can show up in as little as 8 hours and last for as long as 3 days. That is just a nice way of saying vomiting and diarrhea. Salmonella (almost always species enterica) causes Salmonellosis which leads to rather unpleasant gastrointestinal problems. Basically that means that both of these guys are part of a class of microbes that leave you struggling in the bathroom for hours after eating that questionable forkful of food. Both of these scary-big words are the genus names of foodborne pathogenic bacteria that are extremely prevalent on poultry. These don’t sound very fun, do they? Definitely not. Roast chicken also makes me think of something more sinister, however. Also I don’t know about you, but roast chicken just makes me feel cozy which automatically signals feelings of fall. Even when you hear someone say “roast chicken”, I bet you get so excited and your mouth starts watering. And what makes the best dinner party? Roast chicken! Honestly it’s the easiest thing to prepare that always ends up being the most impressive. Well just because I don’t have the fall weather quite yet doesn’t mean that I can’t pretend I’m having a fabulous fall dinner party (these sorts of things actually go on in my mind). At least I didn’t throw pumpkin spice lattes in there (which, by the way, are absolutely revolting). Oops looks like that makes it a million and one. You don’t need to hear for the millionth time that crisp apples, brisk jacket weather, and all of the cinnamon things you can imagine are just the best. Honestly, I could bore you with lists and lists of my favorites, but I’ll be merciful. I’m waiting for this toasty late summer weather to make way for the soft oranges and yellows that signal fall is here! My favorite season by far of all the seasons.
