That might explain why potluck dinners are one of the leading causes of food
poisoning in the US. It has been enough of a problem that some states have
introduced regulations to deal with churches and other groups who run those types
of functions.

I once ate something in a restaurant that likely started off as leftovers and got
reheated. I am sure that the people in the kitchen thought that they had kept it
properly and had reheated it properly. I got food poisoning from it. I thought i
was going to die. Seriously. I was that sick. It would have been a blessed relief
from the hours that I heaved my guts inside out.
