Could you elaborate on the potential causes of a bacterial infection resulting from consumption of so-called 'crypto' foods? Is there a direct link between bacterial contamination and the consumption of foods associated with
cryptocurrency terminology? Are there specific food handling practices or storage conditions that might lead to such an infection? I'm curious to understand if there's a misconception surrounding the term 'crypto' and its application to food safety, or if there are genuine health risks associated with improperly handled foods that are colloquially referred to as 'crypto'.
