According to the CDC and others there is no influenza risk from pork products. We are both fortunate to live in places where we have safe water and access to household disinfectants. So many around the world don't. Solveig, Thanks for doing all that reading. According to the CDC and others there is no influenza risk from pork products.

I read almost all of the links and found them informative. I'm concerned about the blood of meat. For example, on Thursday I prepared boneless pork ribs. Blood pooled at the bottom of the plastic bag when the meat thawed. When removed from the bag, some blood splattered on the counter before I poured the bulk of it down the sink drain. I cleaned the counter with a dishrag with soap, but now wonder if that was adequate. We no longer have pets, but our children to. I'm looking forward to the next installment. This was interesting.
