E. coli is a particularly-the strains of it is a particularly nasty player. Just 100 cells can make somebody ill, and if left untouched it will double the number ever 15 to 20 minutes.

While grilling out is one thing associated with Memorial Day in the U.S., it's observed next Monday, but the holiday wasn't always called Memorial Day. Back in the late 1860s, it was knows as Decoration Day, recalling when flowers were placed on the graves of those who died in the Civil War. Over the decades and conflicts that followed, it became Memorial Day, a time to honor and remember all U.S. service men and women who died in wartime. Church services, parades, speeches, a wreath laying at the tombs of the Unknowns, these are some of the events that take place every year on the last Monday in May. Symbolically, it's also seen as the beginning of summer in the U.S.
