Chickens often harbor salmonella, which can cause food poisoning.  Even
though it's not as serious as trichinosis, it's not something I would
wish on my friends, either.  The heat of ordinary cooking will remove
any danger.

If you handle raw chicken, wash your hands before working with other foods
that provide a good growth medium for salmonella and which will not be
further cooked.  (Mayonnaise is a good example).
