Comment on Does hair in food carry any health risks?

From a technical perspective, yes, there could be health risks from hair in your food. There may be chemicals in the hair from various hair products or there could be bacterial contamination, though that’s a low risk unless you’re consuming a lot of hair that hadn’t been cooked.
In reality, it’s unlikely a few hairs are going to cause any sort of issue other than texture/mouth feel.
That being said, Trump’s hair could be made from asbestos for all we know. That shit doesn’t look natural at all.

Fungal infections as well!
But yes, there is a risk, even if it’s not as bad as unwashed hands or using contaminated equipment (knife on raw chicken to veggies, etc,) or generally unsafe food handling (thawing peas and just letting them sit.)
