I cutt some onion on bamboo/wooden cutting board due to some health issue left the knife on cutting board after two days my husband cut some fruits on it without washing is it safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is evidence that cut onions release sulphuric acid which has antibacterial properties but, all bets are off if that cutting board or knife have been contaminated by bacteria. I'd toss the fruits.
