Dropping Food On The Floor
And it s not just dropping food on the floor that can lead to bacterial contamination.
Dropping food on the floor. Also food dropped on carpet will likely have less contamination than food. When you drop a piece of food on the floor any bacteria living on the floor will adhere to it. When the edibles were dropped on wood or tile and left there for 5 seconds anywhere from 48 to 70 of bacteria from the floor made it onto the food.
What really happens to food when you drop it on the floor there is not a swarm of bacteria lying on the ground waiting to pounce on any food that comes their way. But the chance of these bacteria being on most surfaces is very low. Knowing that a behavior gets under her parents skin gives your child more motivation to repeat.
You are literally living and breathing a sea of bacteria. Instead they are already everywhere even if you have just. Score one though if you re the rare person.
So if you eat the food you ve dropped you re also eating any bacteria the food picked up.
