Risky Meat: Will Your Meal Send You to the Hospital?

Everyone knows undercooked meat can be a risky proposition. For most Americans, a case of foodborne illness is a mild case of nausea or diarrhea that passes in a few days. Few of the 48 million people who are infected each year from tainted foods seek medical attention. But about 128,000 Americans go to the hospital to seek treatment for a potentially deadly infection caused by Salmonella, E. coli or other pathogen. And every year, about 3,000 die.
