my mates just returned from a year in japan,he is back for a month then going back again teaching,we off diving tomorrow,happy days,anyway,he said the only thing he can't eat over there is the RAW chicken they serve up, WTF,raw chicken,they never heard of salmonella :13:Mostly eat chicken or fish. Never had food poisoning from either. Always make sure they're cooked properly. Provided salmonella is cooked properly it does not cause food poisoning. It dies at temperatures above about 55degrees centigrade. Most cases of salmonella poisoning are a result of eating either raw or uncooked food (cook it and problem is gone) or from eating food which has previously been cooked but subsequently contaminated. ( clean up properly after cooking and problem s gone)
Most domestic kitchens will have some salmonella kicking around but it is a numbers game
