Well, because that's what they do and you can never\u003cbr\u003eeliminate them completely.  The trick is to control them.\u003cbr\u003eYou see,  that shiny stainless steel surface may look like a sterile surface to you,\u003cbr\u003ebut to a microbe it's a landscape of mountains and valleys with plenty of dark\u003cbr\u003ecorners to hide in.\u003cbr\u003eOf course a single bug is harmless and it will remain dormant until the conditions\u003cbr\u003eare right for it get active.  All that takes is the provision of a microscopic particle of\u003cbr\u003emoist food and normal room temperature.  It will then neatly divide itself in two.\u003cbr\u003eThese two bugs will then continue to multiply in number until the food and drink\u003cbr\u003eruns out - a bit like a teenagers party.\u003cbr\u003eThey are so good at this that, given ideal conditions, one bug can turn into 4 million\u003cbr\u003einside 8 hours.\u003cbr\u003eYou won't see them, you won't smell them and, if they get on your food, you won't\u003cbr\u003etaste them either. They will strike without warning and with no sign that they even\u003cbr\u003eexist.\u003cbr\u003eHow's that for a nightmare scenario?\u003cbr\u003eThe plain fact is that most food poisoning occurs in the home, and it is often not\u003cbr\u003erecognized for what it is. After all, no-one wants to think that their kitchen is an\u003cbr\u003eunhealthy place, or that there are germs hanging about in there.\u003cbr\u003eTake heart, it's the same for everyone.  There are more potentially dangerous\u003cbr\u003egerms in our kitchens than there ever are in our toilets.  Fact.\u003cbr\u003eThat is why it is so important to practice safe food handling as well as cleanliness,\u003cbr\u003ewhich I know you are already scrupulous about.\u003cbr\u003eFor example, I'm sure you wash your tin opener in hot, soapy water each and every\u003cbr\u003etime you use it.  Right?\u003cbr\u003eYou do?
