Daily Health Tips update for February 12:

Don’t thaw frozen meat at room temperature. Thaw meat in the refrigerator instead.
Don’t wash meat or fish before cooking. The USDA states that this increases the risk of spreading bacteria.
Don’t eat raw or undercooked eggs. Eggs should be cooked to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Don’t eat raw or undercooked fish or cold lunch meats if you are diabetic or elderly. These folks are at higher risk for food-borne pathogens.
