AIBU?

To be furious at poor hygiene

We are at a BBQ hosted by another family and he has just put the meat on the BBQ. He touched all the raw meat with his hands and has since poured the wine, touched the chair and then his face! I am a tad very neurotic about raw meat after a horrendous food poisoning incident while camping as a teen. 

I don't feel I can eat anything or let the dc go near anything. What do I do? I feel v stressed ( I knows it's an over reaction) but what do I do?

It's not great but I thought the risk was raw chicken, not raw meat as such?

If the meat is cooked through, you'll be fine eating it.

"Jokingly" say "aren't you going to wash your hands after touching all that raw meat, we'll all be puking tonight if you're not careful!"

This is one of the reasons I'm glad I'm veggie! hope it's not chicken, campylobacter is horrid

I'd be a bit concerned if it were chicken, less so other meats.

Just have plenty of wine. It'll kill the bacteria. Or you won't care anymore.

Isn't it a bit rude MNetting at a BBQ. You should be mingling, and chatting.

If you hadn't been watching him you would never have known. as long as the meat is well cooked you will be fine. Don't stress and try and enjoy yourself.

Add long as the meat is cooked through and he's not chipping salad with same knife as the meat you'll be fine. You'd be horrified of you saw what went on in a professional kitchen if you think that's badGrin

Make yourself a big sandwich with all the salad/coleslaw. But check for flies in it first.

Ask him to wash his hands - and don't even do it jokingly


and this will have the added benefit of making sure you're never invited again!

Poor Man. he lays on a BBQ and everyone is watching him cook and ewwwing.

I wouldn't like it but then I hate touching raw meat and always wash my hands straight after, I did a food hygiene course for work many moons ago so I am always thinking 'cross contamination!' - that was the answer to most of the questions Grin

What if he touches the buns next without washing his hands...surely that will leave some raw meatiness ?!

And sparkling is right, you're at a BBQ as a guest. Get off your phone and stop MNing!

Not everyone Sparkling, just the OP! Who was probably so engrossed with her MNing that she didn't see him slather antibac all over the place!

Wine through my nose...for a moment I thought you meant an entirely different kind of bun in which case raw meat traces would be the least of it!! Grin

You are posting this while at someones BBQ? Grin Shock Isn't that a bit.....rude?

I hate BBQ's full stop. I expect to be served chicken which is raw in the middle, and burnt on the outside. Which is why I only partake in the wine and puddings.
