Guest guest Posted May 11, 2002 Report Share Posted May 11, 2002 I saw this and thought it was great. It's so easy to do! I thought you might enjoy reading this and it might save you all some problems with this nasty bug. - Melinda Remedy for E coli Tue May 7,12:11 PM ET (HealthScoutNews) -- Harmful bacteria like E.coli are more likely to pitch camp in your kitchen than in your toilet. They particularly like to colonize your sponges, dish rags and cutting boards, because those surfaces are moist and contain small particles of food. Microbiologists have discovered one easy way to kill them: Stick those items in your microwave oven. Add water. A wet sponge takes one minute, a dishrag requires three minutes, and a wooden cutting board needs 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Thanks for the tip! Wanted to also add that taking a garlic capsule ( or pure garlic, which is preferred ) before eating at restaurants will help the body combat most food poisoning you might encounter.
