bacteria are growing you can become sick One of these food borne bacteria is Salmonella It makes 1 4 million people sick every year Salmonella is often found in raw eggs and chicken Cooking kills

Pamphile is where they shop eat and go to church There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5 530 mile border between Canada and the US which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings As a result Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada as usual The US
