As an onion hater, I'm fine with this. No I don't care if they are caramelized or green (or any other colour). Shallots and chives are just another source of that hell-spawn vegetable, yes they taste the same. That putrid taste that destroys the flavour of any meal. Did I mention I hate onions?

Even in medieval times, before viruses were known, people knew to pasteurize their milk!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalded_milk

"Scalded milk is dairy milk that has been heated to 83 °C (181 °F). At this temperature, bacteria are killed, enzymes in the milk are destroyed, and many of the proteins are denatured."

#Introduction

I’m an infectious disease #epidemiologist with a background in applied and clinical #microbiology, as well. I work in the public sector with a main focus on zoonoses, particularly #foodborneillness.

I’m also an adjunct professor at UMD, where I teach #emerginginfectiousdiseases as well as #foodpolicy.

Oh, and I love all things #StarWars, dogs, prog metal, and hate mangoes and Ewoks.

Looking forward to learning and sharing here. Ask anything anytime!
