It is equally important to maintain a clean kitchen environment since transfer from chicken, or other meat, to foods that are eaten raw, such as salad vegetables, or to hands that are used to prepare such foods, can occur. Most commonly, surfaces or hands are contaminated with chicken blood, even microscopic amounts of material can transfer the as few as 500 bacteria required to transmit infection, and then uncooked food is processed or handled on or with these contaminated surfaces or hands. Surfaces that have come in contact with uncooked meats must not be used for foods served raw, or they must be thoroughly sanitized in between uses, and hands must be washed with soap and hot water.
Domestic animals can also transmit the infection through their feces and this route most commonly infects children who may put contaminated items into their mouths. People who clean cat litter pans can also become infected. Monitor and teach children not to put things in their mouths and always wash hands thoroughly after cleaning up after pets.
