With Fourth Of July Around The Corner, Are You Making These Food Safety Mistakes At Your Cookout?

As the Fourth of July approaches, millions of Americans are preparing to fire up their grills, lay out the red-and-white checkered picnic blankets, and celebrate with friends and family over burgers, potato salad, and fireworks. But while the star-spangled festivities symbolize freedom, fun, and food, one oversight—food safety—could lead to a less-than-patriotic ending to the day.<br /><br />Experts warn that summertime cookouts, especially on high-heat holidays like July 4th, can be a perfect breeding ground for foodborne pathogens. Without proper precautions, your backyard BBQ could quickly turn into a bacteria buffet.<br /><br /><h2>Why Summer Is a Hotbed for Foodborne Illnesses?<br /></h2><br />“Summer food safety is often overlooked, and this can lead to some serious consequences,” says Qinchun Rao, Assistant Professor of Food Science at Florida State University, in a news release. The combination of warm temperatures and outdoor dining creates an ideal environment for bacteria such as Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli to grow and spread—especially on perishable items like meats, dairy, and mayonnaise-based salads.<br /><br />According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, approximately 48 million Americans suffer from foodborne illnesses every year. These illnesses result in an estimated 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths annually. Rao points out that most of these cases are preventable with better food handling and storage practices.<br /><br />Hot, sunny days accelerate bacterial growth, especially when perishable foods are left out too long. “Eating food that’s been left out too long can lead to foodborne illnesses caused by bacteria like salmonella, E. coli, and listeria,” Rao explains. The symptoms—nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever—can quickly turn a joyful holiday into a health crisis.<br /><br />The “Danger Zone” You Need to Know About<br />The USDA defines the temperature range between 40°F and 140°F as the “danger zone,” where bacteria can double in number in as little as 20 minutes. This is crucial to understand during outdoor gatherings where food is often left sitting out on tables under the summer sun.<br /><br />If you’re hosting a cookout and the weather is above 90°F, the safe window for keeping perishable food out of the fridge or off a heat source is just one hour. Any longer, and you’re serving up more than just burgers and corn on the cob—you’re inviting foodborne pathogens to the party.<br /><br /><h2>What are the High-Risk Foods?<br /></h2><br />Certain foods are especially susceptible to bacterial contamination. “Foods that are high in protein and moisture, such as dairy products, eggs, seafood, cooked meats and mayonnaise-based salads are especially risky,” Rao says. Potato salads, pasta salads, deviled eggs, and other cold dishes made with mayonnaise are prime breeding grounds for bacteria like salmonella and listeria if not kept cold.<br /><br />To minimize risk, cold foods should be stored at or below 40°F, either in an ice-filled cooler or served on a bed of ice. Hot foods, such as burgers and hot dogs, should be kept warm in insulated containers or on chafing dishes.<br /><br />A common mistake is assuming that food is safe if it looks and smells fine. “A common myth is that ‘if food smells and looks fine, it’s safe to eat.’ In reality, many harmful bacteria do not alter the taste, smell, or appearance of food,” Rao cautions. Another misconception is that reheating food will kill all bacteria. While reheating can destroy some bacteria, it may not eliminate toxins already produced by bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus.<br /><br /><h2>Safe Food Handling Tips for a Stress-Free Celebration<br /></h2><h4>1. Keep It Cold<br /></h4>Cold dishes should be stored at or below 40°F, ideally in a cooler packed with ice or served over an ice bed. Keep coolers in the shade and open them only when necessary to maintain temperature.<br /><br /><h4>2. Keep It Hot<br /></h4>Cooked items like burgers and hot dogs should be kept warm in chafing dishes or insulated containers. Use foil to cover dishes and minimize exposure to insects and the sun.<br /><br /><h4>3. Cook Thoroughly<br /></h4>Use a food thermometer to ensure meats are cooked to safe internal temperatures. Don’t rely on color alone to judge doneness:<br /><br />Poultry: 165°F<br />Ground meats: 160°F<br />Steaks and pork: 145°F (with a 3-minute rest)<br /><br /><h4>4. Don’t Trust Your Senses<br /></h4>“It’s a myth that food which looks or smells fine is safe to eat,” Rao warns. Many harmful bacteria do not alter food's appearance or scent. Likewise, reheating won’t always kill all bacteria—particularly if toxins have already been produced.<br /><br />Another dangerous assumption is that food can be “saved” by placing it back in the refrigerator after being left out for too long. “Refrigerating it after this period does not make it safe, as bacteria may have already multiplied to dangerous levels,” says Rao. “It’s safer to throw it out than risk foodborne illness.”<br /><br /><h2>Common Foodborne Pathogens<br /></h2>Understanding the main bacteria that cause food poisoning can help you recognize the signs of contamination and know when to seek medical attention.<br /><br /><ul><li><strong>Salmonella</strong> (6–48 hours after ingestion): Causes diarrhea, fever, and cramps. Common in eggs, poultry, and raw fruits/vegetables.</li><li><strong>E. coli</strong> (1–8 days): Severe, often bloody diarrhea, with the risk of kidney failure in young children. Found in undercooked beef and unpasteurized products.</li><li><strong>Listeria</strong> (9–48 hours to several weeks): Affects pregnant women and elderly; can cause miscarriage, meningitis, or blood infection. Found in deli meats and soft cheeses.</li><li><strong>Norovirus</strong> (12–48 hours): Causes vomiting and diarrhea; spreads via contaminated produce or shellfish.</li><li><strong>Staphylococcus aureus</strong> (1–6 hours): Sudden nausea, cramps, and vomiting. Found in egg or potato salads left out too long.</li></ul><br />As American families gather to celebrate freedom, health experts hope they also exercise caution and common sense. “Just a few extra steps in food preparation and storage can save a holiday from turning into a trip to the emergency room,” says Rao.<br /><br />If you're hosting this year’s festivities, prepare in small batches, keep perishables cold, and discard anything that’s been sitting out for too long. Serving in smaller portions and replenishing frequently from a cooler or insulated container is one of the simplest ways to keep food safe without compromising on the spread.<br /><br />The Fourth of July is about celebrating independence, togetherness, and tradition—but none of that requires a side dish of stomach cramps or food poisoning. Food safety might not be flashy, but it’s the unsung hero of every successful cookout.<br /><meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />

Recent years have seen a rapid rise in kids vaping all over the world. A popular habit among young teens as well as young adults, vaping is the act of inhaling aerosol from electronic cigarettes or vape. But this popular habit has cost the health and well-being of this 24-year-old, who took to social media to warn people about this habit, as reported by the People. <br /><br /><br /><h2>“I Have Been Vaping Since The Age Of 12” <br /></h2><br />A young man is taking to social media with a serious warning for anyone who uses e-cigarettes. He claims that vaping caused him to suffer a heart attack at just 24 years old and has led to lasting lung damage. Through a series of TikTok videos, Jacob Temple from Kentucky is urging people to quit vaping right away. <br /><br />Temple, who started vaping at age 12, now says his lungs are like those of a 70-year-old man. He explained that he has permanent scarring on part of his lungs, meaning he can never fully inflate or deflate them again. "It feels like I’m breathing through a straw constantly, always, just never getting enough air and there’s nothing that can be done," he shared. This damage means he'll forever feel like he's not getting enough oxygen. <br /><br /><br /><h2>Lung Damage As Well As Suffering Heart Health <br /></h2><br />Temple also revealed that his vaping habit directly led to a "minor" heart attack, specifically an anterior myocardial infarction. He described the terrifying experience, saying, "My whole body was fighting to stay alive at a certain point." While the physical damage to his lungs can't be fixed, he hopes his story will motivate others to stop vaping before it's too late for them. <br /><br />Temple admits he still has "good days and bad days." On some days, he can be active with the help of his rescue inhaler. However, on other days, he can barely function and struggles to sleep. He reflected on his past habit, saying, "It was fun while it lasted, but now I am paying for it dearly." His struggle highlights the long-term, painful consequences of what might seem like a harmless habit. <br /><br /><br /><h2>Research Warns Against Vaping <br /></h2><br />In a 2021 BMJ Case Reports study, researchers explored the link between vaping spontaneous pneumothorax, which is when air leaks into the space between your lung and chest wall, causing the lung to collapse. They also presented a case study of a A 34-year-old man, who was a healthy weight, came to the emergency room struggling to breathe and experiencing back pain for a full day. <br /><br />An X-ray of his chest showed a large collapsed lung on his right side. He had quit regular cigarettes three years prior and switched entirely to vaping. A more detailed CT scan revealed bullae (air-filled sacs) in his lungs, and he had to undergo surgery to remove part of his lung. Lab tests on the removed tissue showed mild inflammation. <br /><br />There are many other studies like the same, prompting researchers and healthcare professionals to issue warnings. <br /><br />Temple’s case is not an isolated incident; there are many who have suffered the same fate.<br /> <br /><br /><h2>How To Quit Vaping? <br /></h2><br />According to Heart Organization, quitting smoking or vaping for good can seem tough, but it's totally possible. Just take it one step at a time. Here are five easy steps to help you on your journey to a healthier life. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Pick Your "Quit Day" and Make a Promise <br /></h4><br />Choose a day within the next week when you'll completely stop. This is your "Quit Day"! Promise yourself and tell supportive friends you're quitting. Slowly cut down before this day. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Choose How You'll Quit <br /></h4><br />You have options: go "cold turkey" and stop all at once, or cut down slowly each day. For example, reduce cigarettes from 20 to 10, then 5. Or take fewer puffs from each one. <br /><br /><br /><h4>Talk to Your Doctor About Help <br /></h4><br />Speak with your doctor. They can tell you if medicines or other support tools, like patches or gum, would make quitting easier for you. Get their personalized advice to help you succeed.<br /> <br /><br /><h4>Plan for Your Quit Day and Beyond <br /></h4><br />Get ready for your Quit Day! Have healthy snacks ready, like fruits or gum. Plan fun activities to keep busy when you feel like smoking. Try a walk, movie, or new hobby to keep your hands busy.<br /><meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />
