The work of these men, said the awards committee, "promises to contribute decisively to our eventual understanding of the nature of cancer...
Once salmonella bacilli have infected a food, they wait patiently for the opportunity to multiply-and one of the places they multiply best is, unfortunately, in U.S. kitchens. Refrigeration curbs but does not kill them; meat or fowl left standing at room temperature for a few hours becomes an ideal breeding place.

This could have amounted to a repeated inoculation with the virus, since there were usually cuts and scratches on my hands...
