Science Club: The Microbiological Consequences of Double Dipping
Location: The Lodge at Balfour- Aspen Grill
Address: 1331 E Hecla Drive, Louisville, CO 80027
The football season is culminating with the Super Bowl, the nation’s biggest snacking day of the year! And what kind of Super Bowl party would it be without chips and dip?  Before you dig into that bowl of dip, join our discussion about how diseases may be spread by the simple act of double dipping. “Double Dipping” is a term describing the act of returning to the community dip bowl after already taking a bite out of the food.  Studies have been conducted exploring if this “party foul” may actually aid the spread of communicable disease. Join us at Science Club and we will not only discuss the consequences of double dipping, but enjoy some snacks with dip of our own – the safe way, with individual dip cups.
