      Accidents can happen even before you eat. Preparing the chicken might mean contaminating your hands, a knife, a cutting board, and your countertop if there’s even a small amount of water flowing out the meat. You put all that in the sink, wash your hands, but… by washing your hands, were you careful enough not to contaminate the water valve on your kitchen sink? How about the soap dispenser? Did you make certain nobody touched the countertop before you sanitized it? There’s a lot of ways something can go wrong when working with dangerous substances.
