A member asked:
Does eating smaller meals lower risk of food poisoning because you are less likely to consume a large number of bacteria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Even a small amt of food with the wrong bacterial can cause problems. It is not the quantity of bacterial but the type that cause the problems.
