Honestly, though, cookouts are rife with potential food dangers. Start out with the fact that most of us just aren't the master chefs we think we are.

Did you know that bacteria begin to multiply between 40°F and 140°F? That's worse than rabbits.

Another friend of mine is so paranoid about food safety, she only eats potato chips and pretzels at cookouts. I think that's going a little too far.
