Defend Against Double-dipping At Your Super Bowl Party

Research shows that one double-dip -- when a person plunges a chip or vegetable they've taken a bite from back into the common bowl of dip -- can transfer about 10,000 bacteria from the eater to the dip. "Double-dipping is like getting a lick of someone else's saliva. It spreads bacteria," Donna Duberg, a germ expert at Saint Louis University, said in a university news release. One way to prevent double-dipping is to pick food items when does morning sickness start in pregnancy that come in their own individual packages. "Guests can have their own packets of chips or even boxed food items that have their own little packets of sauces," said Duberg, an assistant professor of clinical lab science. Another approach is to set out individual bowls, dishes and even spoons so your guests can take a portion of dip that only they use.
