Question
how would a person most likely contract gastroenteritis? not keeping food hot enough not washing hands well enough not canning food properly not storing food properly
Gastroenteritis is often caused by ingesting contaminated food or coming into contact with pathogens. Poor hand - washing allows pathogens to be transferred to food or the mouth, increasing the risk of contracting gastroenteritis. Keeping food hot enough is more related to preventing growth of certain bacteria but not the main cause of gastroenteritis like unwashed hands. Canning food properly is about long - term preservation and safety of canned goods, not a common direct cause of gastroenteritis. Storing food properly mainly prevents spoilage and growth of bacteria over time rather than being the most likely cause of immediate gastroenteritis.
