With the floppy white hair and stream of self-deprecating and ridiculous humor, Steve Griffin seems like he would be a comforting person for a sick and scared child to look up at from a wheelchair. Or, for that matter, a scared-sick first-time van driver—because in Griffin’s eyes, the PBHA volunteers can do no wrong...

Less than diligent hand washing or improperly cooked meat could park you on the toilet for the next few days. And if you're sick enough to need medical treatment, you might be out of luck. Chicken Cipro is so closely related to human Cipro that any germ that has become resistant to the animal drug can shrug off the human one just as easily. Before 1996, when enrofloxacin was approved in the U.S. for use in poultry, the number of Campylobacter infections...
