The Great Allergy Cross Contamination Experiment - Part 1

Hello again!

I wanted to do some kind of experiment to explain how serious cross-contamination can be for people with allergies. They might end up getting itchy or needing their epipens and an ambulance to hospital. Sometimes small parts of food can not be seen, so I chose glitter because it shows up easier than small amounts of food particles. 

For my first experiment, I wanted to see how food particles spread around the kitchen, by accident, and could make people very itchy or unable to breathe.

First I got two fresh cups of water  and added a pinch of glitter to one of them and dipped a spoon in that cup and stirred it well, then dipped the spoon in the other cup and that cup became contaminated. I knew because I could see the glitter shining in the second cup and on the spoon too!

I took a picture to show you how much glitter stayed stuck on the spoon and in the second cup. If this was something that someone was allergic to, they could end up very poorly from this. 

Part two to follow very soon. I have done the experiment already but now I am doing some baking ready to share with you soon!
