What occupational diseases do chefs have? What caused it?

Chefs' occupational diseases are divided into psychological diseases and physical diseases. It is difficult to cure psychologically and physically. It sounds contradictory, but it's true.

Mental illness is actually a bad habit. It is a bad action to suck your fingers in the kitchen. Don't think that only chefs in China do this. I have seen many famous western chefs do this with their own eyes. No matter whether you are not sure about the taste of the food or the food cooked by the apprentice, the master will dip the middle finger or ring finger into the soup and then quickly put it in his mouth to suck. Only in this way can you feel at ease. But it is very indecent in terms of hygiene and sense.

There are other things, such as going to other places to eat, you should express your opinions with the professional attitude of the chef, and you can't say whether the food is good or not. When I see someone else's kitchen, I will probe into it. When I have dinner with my friends, I see sauce on the side of the plate, and I will clean it with paper. If you want to change these psychological occupational diseases, unless you stop being a chef.

At the same time, the chef is sick, which is really sick. The reason why these diseases can't be cured is that they are chronic diseases. On the surface, they may seem nothing, but in fact they may have their roots. The most common diseases are gastropathy, tenosynovitis, cervical strain and varicose veins.

Stomach trouble is due to irregular diet; Tenosynovitis is caused by holding a knife or wok for a long time; Cervical strain and varicose veins are even more terrible, because if you can't cure these two diseases, your career will be over. It is caused by cutting vegetables for a long time and standing for a long time. Therefore, there used to be an unwritten rule in the kitchen that the apprentice should massage the master regularly. The disciples began to wonder why Master was always uncomfortable.
