A member asked:
Can you catch h pylori or other serious germs by sharing utensils and double dipping into food? stupidly, i ate with someone unhygienic who repeatedly dipped their fork and spoon into the communal food dishes. concerned about harmful exposures?

H pylori as well as.other pathogens can be transmitted by sharing utensils used by other infected people. It's not inevitable that you're going to get sick. Just be vigilant about any gastrointestinal symptoms if you're unsure of the health of that unhygienic individual.
