I Ate Something Off The Floor

It is generally safe to eat all food that has been dropped on a residential floor that is mopped or vacuumed once a week no matter the timing.

I ate something off the floor.

There s a big difference between picking up a cracker from a just cleaned dry kitchen floor probably safe versus the floor near the cat litter box not. And it s probably not a new one either. Wondering if food is still ok to eat after it s been dropped on the floor or anywhere else is a pretty common experience. But it depends on what you drop and where.

Eating food off the floor may be ok scientist says a microbiologist experiments with dropping food on various surfaces to see how much bacteria they pick up. I opened his mouth and tried to get it out but it was too late. He always does after eating i know he ate somthing. Think of how many sick people and germs are in the hospital.

I saw him chewing on somthing he found somthing off the carpet and ate it. There is a 5 second rule but i wouldnt do that in the hospital. Germs and bacteria move more quickly and can live in warm temps. I would not eat it.

Home but not at the hospital. Carpet is apparently not bad at all. He was smelling the carpet looking for more of whatever he just ate. Wondering if food is still ok to eat after it s been dropped on the floor or anywhere else is a pretty common experience.

And it s probably not a new one either. After all you ve been trampling on that floor in the same shoes you ve worn well you don t even want to think about all the subway stairs city streets or dirty fields they ve crossed. So here comes the good news germophobes. And its cold in the hospital to decrease germs from spreading.

Occasionally eating food that was briefly on the floor is not likely to make you sick.
