🧤 Essential Kitchen Hygiene Habits

  • Wash hands with soap for 20 seconds before and after handling food.
  • Sanitize surfaces with a bleach solution (1 tbsp bleach per gallon of water).
  • Refrigerate promptly: Don’t leave perishables out >2 hours (1 hour if >90°F/32°C).
  • Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C).

🚨 When to Seek Medical Attention

See a doctor if you experience:

  • Persistent diarrhea, vomiting, or abdominal cramps
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Fatigue, fever, or signs of anemia
  • Visible worms or segments in stool

Diagnosis often requires stool tests or blood work. Some parasites can cause chronic issues if untreated.
