In case anyone's wondering, this is for USA; study done in California.

Key findings:

  • 18% of UTIs in the study population were linked to E. coli strains of animal origin, which are known as foodborne UTIs.
  • The highest-risk strains were most often found in chicken and turkey.
  • People living in low-income areas had a 60% higher risk of foodborne UTIs compared to those in wealthier neighborhoods.
  • Women and older men were especially vulnerable.

How about with a condom?

Or at least cook it to a temperature of 165 f first (then probably let it cool)

But not too cool

Or chicken breasts. That's how you end up a greentext.

Women always get more UTIs because of the shorter urethras.
