Buffet Baddies: Dishes You Shouldn’t Touch with a Ten-Foot Fork!

Studies have shown that lemon wedges can be hotspots for microbes, including E. coli, thanks to their frequent handling and the fact they’re often left out, basking in the buffet’s glory.

These bacteria love to party on the porous surface of lemon peels, turning your refreshing twist into a microbial mingle. Now you know those tangy garnishes might just be squeezing more than just juice into your drink.
