4. Contact with Affected Foods in Raw Form
Any foods that might have been touched by infected water droplets can potentially be a breeding ground for bacteria – and there are several different types that might find their way to your food or vegetables in this way.
Alternatively, some types of foods might also have been prepared by someone who had the H. Pylori bacteria present on their hands (and didn’t properly wash them before they went on to prepare the food). Even though nobody wants to admit to it, this is a common sight in the hospitality and restaurant industries.
Both of these situations means you are at a higher risk of contracting H. Pylori. It’s especially mistaken for food poisoning in many of these cases due to the fact that it happens so close to being able to pinpoint a dietary cause – but in a great deal of these cases, it’s not food poisoning but instead an H. Pylori infection that needs to be treated as soon as possible.
