So here comes the good news germophobes.
Dropping food on the floor and eating it.
Wondering if food is still ok to eat after it s been dropped on the floor or anywhere else is a pretty common experience.
Any food picked up from the floor is perfectly fine to eat within five seconds of dropping it.
But was i right to eat it or had i unwittingly stuffed my mouth full of tiny harmful microbes.
I do that because the harm i might get from the floor is not worth my concern compared with many many other things.
And it s probably not a new one either.

It is generally safe to eat all food that has been dropped on a residential floor that is mopped or vacuumed once a week no matter the timing.
