    I’ve been eating medium-rare burgers my whole life. Restaurants, at home, random neighbors BBQ - and not once can I recall getting sick.

    I had no idea people were eating their burgers well done as the norm. The reasons people have posted regarding bacteria seem sound but still… I am so so sorry for you.

      Are you maybe just using very lean ground beef? In my experience, 15% ground beef is very hard to overcook.
