Noteworthy quotes from this episode

“In 2011, 90 percent of the population of the United States washed their raw chicken.” – Matthew Regusci

“People think the last thing they ate is what's making them sick. That's because when they throw up, that's what they see in the toilet. That's not likely – not that it can't be – but that's not likely what made you sick. It's probably something you ate at least 24 hours ago.” – Francine L Shaw
