so this video I want to talk about why you should never consume raw chicken

meat now you may have eaten sushi which is raw fish or raw beef but not chicken

why because there’s a certain bacteria in chicken and turkey that could

potentially give you food poisoning and then it’s called Campylobacter bacteria

but 75% of all the chickens tested at the grocery store tested positive for

this bacterium this is the bacteria that loves to live inside of birds their

stomachs I’m talking chickens turkeys into some other birds as well and if you

consume enough of this bacteria you potentially could have severe diarrhea

flu symptoms fever severe abdominal pain cramping and even worse there’s a

condition called guillain-barre a syndrome it’s an autoimmune disease of

the nervous system the myelin sheath around the nerves and this disease 30%

of the time is caused by this bacteria antibiotics usually do not work they

don’t kill this thing off so you’re pretty much just managing your symptoms

you don’t want to wash that chicken you want to stick it in the oven because you

could potentially get cross-contamination you start using the

hands and you’re cutting and you’re touching different things and the

cutting board now you can do that but you just have to make sure you clean

everything thoroughly with soap and water because all it takes is for you to

touch your mouth it gets in there and now we have a problem

you make sure that it’s cooked at a hundred and sixty-five degrees

Fahrenheit now that bacteria will be destroyed at certain temperatures 48

degrees Celsius which is a hundred and eighteen point four degrees Fahrenheit

or you can kill it off by freezing it so you go to store bonnet chicken come home

stick your chicken in the freezer that will kill it most the time though if

your stomach has enough hydrochloric acid and you consume a moderate amount

of bacteria that acid hypothetically should kill off that bacterium but the

question is how many people have stomach acids many people especially as

they get older lose the stomach acids to a certain degree so they can’t kill up

those microbes if you’re on an acid we know you’re not gonna have enough HCl

and your risk for getting this infection goes a lot higher now I know some of you

probably are never gonna check in there after watching this video I just want

you to realize that these figures are more for commercial chickens they don’t

apply to chicken that you would get at the farmers market thanks for watching

and I did put another video on chicken that I think you’ll find very

interesting I put it right here check it out
