The return of the summer barbecue brings with it the risk for sickness from E. coli in food that hasnβt been handled properly.
Most varieties of E. coli are harmless or cause brief sickness. However, a few particularly nasty strains, such as E. coli O157:H7, can cause more severe symptoms. And, unlike many other disease-causing bacteria, E. coli can create an infection even if you ingest only small amounts.
