You can really do your head in with all these eating rules

Basically I steered clear of the "textbook" stuff - soft cheeses, deli meat, sushi and cold seafood. And buffets.

If I ate out I made sure it was piping hot as spring says.

General rule for me was if it looks fresh it's fine. I never heard of scrubbing veges with detergent - blech! - and even if I did I wouldn've done it That's just gross!
