We rawpalaeodieters get this sort of food-hygiene hysteria all the time. We regularly eat things like rotting meat, raw shellfish etc., with no side-effects(with many having done so for years), yet the media love to, mistakenly, inform us every so often that one supposedly will die in horrible agony from eating raw-animal-food for more than a very short period.
