Danger of Long Fingernails and Food Safety

Long fingernails harbor dangerous fecal bacteria that transfer directly to your food every

time you eat. Studies show bacteria thrives in the space under your nails, and washing hands

barely removes it. Each meal becomes a risk as your nails act like tiny scoops delivering germs

straight to your mouth. The longer the nail, the worse it gets. Food handlers with

long nails contaminate dishes at alarming rates. Even if your hands look clean,

those nails are breeding grounds for E. coli and other nasty pathogens.

Keeping nails short and scrubbing underneath them properly is the only real defense against eating fecal

matter with every bite. Hit the like button, comment and share if you find this
