Flip flops or foodborne illness: pick your poison

Flip flops are gross microbiological factories loaded with E. coli, Staph aureus and fecal matter that will soon be returning to university campuses around the U.S.

Duh.

At least CBS medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton had the sense to say,

"Have there been people who have gotten some pretty bad skin infections because they’ve been wearing flip flops or walked barefoot? Sure.”

Ashton said in her opinion, food poisoning, which can contain bacteria, is a more significant health risk than germy flip flops.
