Food at Potlucks- Am I the only one?

According to the CDC, 47.8 million people a year get sick from food poisoning, over 3,000 of them die from it.

A food-allergic reaction sends someone in America to the emergency room every three minutes.

It's not paranoia, it's not phobia, it's not funny, it's real, and it happens.

I figure it's a lot like seat-belts and air bags, I know lots of people who scoff at them, never needed them once their whole life, I see accidents weekly where they likely saved a life.

As Clint Eastwood said, "Do you feel lucky?"

Same thing can be said about auto accidents 32,719 people died in 2013, so your 10 times more likely to die driving to the campground then food poisoning.

This thread reminds me of Howard Hughes.

I still eat pot lucks at the seasonal site but I know the people and there food prep hygiene.
