DANGER ZONE

The most dangerous diseases related to food poisoning are caused by microorganisms, such as bacteria, yeast, molds, viruses, and worms, etc. Bacteria are found just everywhere – raw foods, animals and people. They grow very fast – one bacterium will double every 15 – 20 minutes when it finds the proper temperature. They prefer the human body temperature – 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The DANGER ZONE is the interval of temperatures where the bacterium has the most chances to live and grow: between 41 – 140 degrees Fahrenheit
