The FDA recommends cooking beef to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) to kill any potential harmful bacteria like E. coli or Salmonella. However, some people may still prefer their meat rare or medium-rare, which is fine as long as the meat is fresh and has been handled safely to prevent contamination. It’s important to note that individuals with compromised immune systems or pregnant women should avoid eating rare meat to prevent any potential health risks.

Another option is to use rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover on a cloth and gently dab at the slime until it loosens. Again, rinse the area with cold water and wash the garment as usual.

Maggots can get into sealed food through eggs already present in the food before it was sealed, or through tiny holes or gaps in the packaging that allow flies to lay their eggs on the food.

It is important to properly store and dispose of food to prevent fly infestations and the emergence of maggots.
