From food safety to boat safety, stay safe this Memorial Day weekend
For many Americans, Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial summer kickoff. Whether you're celebrating in the backyard or on the water, here's how to have a safe holiday.
Food safetyMemorial Day means dusting off the grill and enjoying a barbecue or potluck meal. Before you take a bite of that burger or potato salad, keep in mind the following: Grilling/wire bristles in food: If you are using a wire brush to clean your grill, make sure you thoroughly inspect it for lost bristles that may have become adhered to it. Ingested wire bristles can become lodged in the throat or puncture the digestive tract, risking infection.
