Have you ever researched what strains of bacteria are most often found
on "ripe" meat, and what role they play in the balance of our (human)
intestinal flora?  (Just curious.  Having Crohn's, I have a tough time
getting the good bugs to take up residence in my guts once again, but
I
have low stomach acid that doesn't do a good job of keeping out the
bad
bugs that often accompany the good bugs on raw stuff.)
