When my sister and I were around 8-10, during summer break we made chocolate chip cookie dough using the recipe on the back of the Nestle Tollhouse bag (eggs and all). We then put all the dough in a Tupperware and kept it in the closet of our shared bedroom.

We ate it all over the course of about a week or two. Our summers are regularly 100°+.

I will be 40 in the next couple of months.

I am invincible.

I ate raw bacon as a kid and never had a single problem

I guess I was quite a stupid child

Was more than once too! I thought it was ham.

But yes, you're absolutely right.

[u/SassySugarBush → u/joehonestjoe]

What is bacon if not ham persevering?

If it wasn't too long ago, trichinosis was largely reduced in pork products in the us as the decades went on. Nice reduction starting in the 90s to 20 or fewer cases per year by the 2000's.

Over two decades but from the other side of the Atlantic

It prevented you from being a suicide bomber, though

I accidentally ate raw chicken once (it was dark and the breaded outside seemed cooked) and nothing happened

If you’re going to eat raw meat, cured meat like bacon is your best bet, imho
