mitch, you cant eat raw hamburger and not get sick!! not that we should be afraid of it, but if you eat raw hamburger you are just asking for problems.
hamburger needs to be fully cooked to be eaten safetly, because its ground meat, all the bacteria from the oustide of the meat gets spread to the inside, whereas you can eat steak rare and be okay. ( not that I would, because of the eww factor, but I'll eat it a litlle pinkish)
