Austin, TX. ban on bags starts tomorrow. Same set of problems.
Not only that, but reusable bags have been linked to 25 per cent overall increases in infectious diseases. That’s an incredible health hazard!
Never reuse bags that have been used to transport meat. Meat juice nearly always gets contaminated with botulism, and heating the bags with hot water does not kill the germs.
Heating can kill the toxin (botulism poop!) that can kill you, but the germs are still there, waiting.
