Comment on What are the odds of getting salmonella when eating raw poultry products?

Couple years ago there were locals all over America saying the masks are a hoax, and to inject bleach.
…locals aren’t always right, or even smart…

“Just” explosive diarrhea? Likely wasn’t salmonella. So it could have been any number of causes. Which is why even when salmonella isn’t a risk, you gotta be careful with raw meat.

It lasted three days if that’s any indication…

Ouch. Literally and figuratively. If it wasn’t salmonella, it sure as hell wasn’t just unfamiliar food, not lasting that long.

Might just be used to it, and you weren’t. Your tolerance can get pretty high if you’ve been eating it your whole life.

I tried it in Osaka and had no issues. Tbh it’s nothing to write home about, it doesn’t really taste like anything. I feel like it’s one of those foods that’s more about the prestige associated with it than the taste. As mentioned above, it has to be a very high standard of product to be safe to eat, so it’s kind of showing off how high quality your meat is, rather than actually being delicious.
