Your hands can spread bacteria and get into the food that you are preparing. After touching raw meat, poultry or fish you should be extremely careful and wash your hands thoroughly. Meat can contain deadly bacteria called e-coli.

This will ensure that the food you prepare won't make you, or anyone else that eats it, ill.
