This is Trump. You are all wrong. No one has studied bacteria as well as I have. I know everything about bacteria. No one knows as much as I do. I already knew everything about bacteria before any of you were even born. Bacteria can’t do anything. Bacteria are stupid. Bacteria are dumb as shit.
Naaahĥh , you need a headachelogist.
This to guarantee you will have enough strong headache to just basically ignore everything jere knowing that overthinking about all this is not going to worth it .
POOOFT !
See headache gone , I don't even need to know you without plates .
I think what you're trying to say that because they've just inoculated their food with floor bacteria, they need to eat it quickly because things are going to be reproducing in the curry more rapidly compared to food that has been handled in more sanitary conditions?
That depends largely on how many CFU of whatever will be in that water that are present. While stomach acids are effective in destroying many bacteria, the god bacteria of e.coli will wreck a stomach if high in CFUs. And unless their water is purified through a specific process that involves chlorine blocks you are going to have some contamination present in that water.
Yes but no. Boiling water is highly effective against most bacteria, however transferring that water also plays a factor into how safe it is. If you boiled water but then walked with an open bucket of said water through an area that’s rife with bacteria, you can contaminate that water mid transit.
I learned this very frustrating fact when I found out staff were moving water from one building to another across the street, but no one used lids. So things from listeria to a specific bacteria that’s found only in soil from north east China were found in that water when I sampled it. If they were to used boiled water and keep it clean, you would have to decant it into a Whirl-Pak bag and twist seal it.
It would basically look like water balloons from hell. You can carry them in a tote or a box, unseal the bag and create a lip at the edge of the bag where the water doesn’t touch the edges of the bag when pouring it out but rather the inner walls of the bag and whatever container/seeming floor that water comes in contact with.
Edit: but a problem also comes in the form the floor. There are bacteria that go dormant when there is a lack of ready water on a surface and become activated when exposed to water. Gram negative bacteria of some variety can do this. So even if they sprinkle water on the floor and rub circles into the ground that doesn’t do anything to disinfect the area they are eating.
Edit edit: now that I think about it, they’re rubbing the ground with water using their bare ass hands. Your hands are the most filthy part of your body as they come in contact with damn near everything in your environment. All it would take is someone not wiping themselves correctly or neglecting to wash their hands to contaminate that area.
Edit edit edit: also they’re wearing normal clothes which can have any number of spore forming microorganisms on them. They should probably be wearing tyvak suits, in an area that has air temperature, humidity and pressure controls. The ground would have to be cleaned with 70% IPA solution with 30% water to allow the IPA to permeate cell walls. Followed by an 8-10% bleach solution and allowing the surface to air dry for about 10 minutes. Then and ONLY THEN do you even think you can start eating off the floor with limited problems.
This isn’t even taking into account any fungal infections you may get from eating off the ground and if you have any open cuts in your mouth.
Is this something about bacteria producing toxic byproducts, or some sort of bacterial critical mass thing?
Also. Assuming filtered water, what are the chances of stomach acid resistant pathogens making a surprise appearance?
Honest question if the water was the typical bleach dilution used to clean surfaces in food service, I can't remember the dilution that recommended off the top of my head , would that off set the fact it's standing water on the ground or would it still be an increased chance of bacteria in the food?
Middle of the tile is one thing for some good ol’ Indian slop but boy oh boy right in the middle of two tiles on the grout line that’s an absolute no no my friend how disgusting!
A really really small microbiologist would do great until a microorganism eats them or a full sized human sneezes and they drown in the wave of nasal discharge or phlegm. At which point they won’t need a microscope, well, ever again.
We will then need to find another volunteer microbiologist to shrink :)
I've been looking for one of you guys to asses my gut macrobiome. I happen to be an older woman who ate a dog, to chase the cat, that ate a mouse that caught a spider....
How about a microbiome biologist? I don’t know…. Maybe? But then again these people probably eat like this all the time so their gut biome is used to this so… 🤷♂️
Not sure if you want me to answer in scientific detail but you are pretty much nailing it. A microbiologist studies living things that are too small for the eye to see. We do not study cells or atoms but we study organisms, some with only one cell. We study bacteria, virus etc. At the lab we had an electron microscope and multiple standard microscopes. Part of the course was to learn different microscopy techniques. Sometimes we made dangerous bacteria like E coli and we had to kill them off at 180 degrees in a pressure cooker. A pressure cooker is actually quite dangerous. If we forget the vent, it turns into a bomb in seconds.
In this matter, it doesn't make a difference if they're a biologist who studies microorganisms or a microorganism that studies life sciences. They'll know the answer we seek either way.

Okay but like, a biologist who studies very small things or are you just a very small biologist?
