What to do if i'm just wondering if it is likely i will get food poisoning or if it's not really a common thing?

Food poisoning: is a very real entity. Paying good attention to hygiene, eating food that is properly cooked, or properly refrigerated, etc. can help to keep it at bay.

At some point in: your life, you'll probably be exposed to some compromised food. But remember "food poisoning" comes in all shades of severity; sometimes so mild you may just have some mild stomach upset and loose stool for a day or so, to as severe death. Just try to make sure you optimize your food hygiene at home and eat out a restaurants you trust. Avoid undercooked foods unless you really trust them.
