If youre like most people, you eat it. Maybe you follow the “5-second rule”, which claims foods are safe to eat if you pick them up within 5 seconds after dropping them.,But you might want to think again. Scientists now say that 5 seconds is all it takes for foods to become polluted with enough bacteria (细菌) to make you sick. Bacteria can cause many kinds of illnesses. Some kinds of bacteria can grow on food. If you eat foods on which these bacteria are growing, you can become sick.,One of these food-borne bacteria is Salmonella. It makes 1. 4 million people sick every year. Salmonella is often found in raw eggs and chicken. Cooking kills these bacteria, which is why it is so important to cook eggs, chicken, and other foods thoroughly.,But how long does it take these bacteria to pollute food? A team of scientists in South Carolina did an experiment. First, they placed an amount of Salmonella on three surfaces: wood, tile (瓦片) and carpet. They placed a piece of bread and a piece of bologna (一种大红肠) on each surface for 5, 30 and 60 seconds. After just 5 seconds, both the bread and the bologna picked up enough bacteria to make you sick. So, forget the 5-second rule. If your toast drops on the floor, throw it away and get another piece of clean toast. And this time, be careful not to drop it!,1.
