A new study estimates that nearly one in five urinary tract infections in Southern California may be caused by E. coli strains transmitted through contaminated meat—and pose a hidden foodborne risk to millions of people not just in California but across the US.

    In case anyone’s wondering, this is for USA; study done in California.

    Key findings:

    • 18% of UTIs in the study population were linked to E. coli strains of animal origin, which are known as foodborne UTIs.
    • The highest-risk strains were most often found in chicken and turkey.
    • People living in low-income areas had a 60% higher risk of foodborne UTIs compared to those in wealthier neighborhoods.
    • Women and older men were especially vulnerable.

      Women always get more UTIs because of the shorter urethras.

        Or at least cook it to a temperature of 165 f first (then probably let it cool)
