The maze was real cool as well. Thanks for a great time!

A good time for different sized groups who have the curiosity to solve the puzzles. Good for a team building exercise and using each others strengths. Amazing experience at The Crux. The Crux is by far our favourite. My wife and I have done a few rooms together now, and decided to try two Crux rooms in one night. It was nice to play a seasonal themed room. We escaped from both, and had We went to the Crux for a birthday and had fun. Great beginner escape room though.

This room was very hard to start and then the rest of the puzzles were fairly simple. We finished in approximately 35 minutes. They have better rooms but this was a fun room for an easy afternoon with family. My family has been to the Crux in Hamilton multiple times and to the location in Niagara Falls once. All the times have been fun and entertaining. This was my first experience doing an escape room. And to be honest, it was worth every penny. We had so much fun and managed to get out with a minute and a half to spare!

In , there was a nationwide recall of flour found to be contaminated with E.

Some were even hospitalized, and one went into kidney failure. Such recall notices are extremely important. When we know that a product is contaminated, we can and should make absolutely sure to get rid of it.

As soon as I read the recall notice, I checked whether my extra flour was recalled. But, this takes us to the second of my questions: If we take steps to minimize risk such as using nonrecalled flour and pasteurized eggs , do consumers really have to stop eating cookie dough because of these risks? Public health officials have a duty to warn people about the health risks associated with raw egg and even raw flour.

When we have evidence that specific people are at risk, public health officials need to actively promote the actions that those people can take to minimize the identified risk. Doing so supports both public health objectives and individual decision-making. I know that some public health officials will be horrified by my statement. They will believe that I am undermining their message and giving people permission to put themselves at risk unnecessarily.

It is a value judgment. That is their choice. A rare burger comes with risk on the side. If you have affected food, you need to act. But if I know that my flour is not recalled, then there is no specific reason to believe that the flour is not OK to eat raw. The only risk is the very small, baseline risk — for example, that the flour has been contaminated by a different and as-of-yet unknown source.

I put myself and my children at risk every time we get into our car. Every time we eat sushi or rare hamburgers. Every time one of us takes medications. Every time we ride a bike or play soccer. Yet, many of us choose to do those things anyway, while minimizing risk when we can for example, by wearing seat belts and bike helmets. We choose life and risk over safety and a life a little less enjoyable. It is not irrational to treat cookie dough the same way. So, to my fellow public health practitioners: Motivating people to take immediate action about specific food recalls.

Encouraging people to minimize risks. Our goal is to maximize life. Sometimes maximizing life means warning people that their flour is contaminated and making sure they throw it out. Sometimes maximizing life means letting them enjoy some carefully prepared cookie dough without shame.

There is risk in eating raw cookie dough. Nonetheless, as I noted in my Twitter reply to Dr. Neither FDA nor I are you.
