Was it food poisoning or the stomach flu? Infectious-disease expert

Dr. Steve Threlkeld returns to Oh Gross! to unpack the real difference
and why the “last thing you ate” isn’t always the culprit. We dig into
the invisible fecal veneer, Dr. Steve’s unforgettable “painting the
room” visualization, and a new favorite phrase you’ll hear in this
convo: deer veneer. Gross? Yep. Useful? Totally.

  • Food poisoning vs. stomach flu: Timing, symptoms, incubation windows—how to actually tell them apart.
  • Common culprits & settings: Undercooked poultry, lukewarm buffets, sketchy prep zones, dicey leftovers.
  • Doctor’s advice: What to eat/drink, what to avoid, red-flag symptoms, and when to call a pro.
  • Kitchen hygiene upgrades: Smarter cutting board habits, fridge temps, cooling/reheating, and storage timelines.

    • Packed

    with real-world food safety tips, myth-busting, and a few “you’ll never
    unhear this” moments, this one might save your next potluck.
