    I just wanted to make sure you know that food poisoning happens even when all microorganisms are already dead. Some bacterial toxins are resistant to high temperatures and can still cause disease even after their source has been killed. That’s why cooking something that’s been sitting around in warm or room temperature doesn’t make it safe to eat, even though it makes of safer than not cooking it.
