Exercise 5

Your next-door neighbor has recently been diagnosed with cancer, a lymphoma, and is undergoing chemotherapy. He has been instructed not to eat anything that has not been cooked. No raw vegetables or meat, including fish. He is not sure why this is. He knows you are taking a microbiology class and asks you to explain why. What can you tell him?
