They, then, touch on displayed products at shopping malls with the chicken foot, all in the name of viral content. Some of the products are such as chicken stock, eggs, raw poultry & sausages.
This, even, continues on the chillers' glass doors. The irresponsible act might cause the spread of salmonella, a type of bacteria.

Some of the symptoms from salmonellosis include upset stomach, diarrhea, fever, headache, bloody poop & cramps. Although it's not exactly life-threatening, Malaysians definitely do not need another illness to worry about right now.
